Make sure you:


A) Deleted the layer containing the bitmaps.


B) Went into the library and deleted all of the bitmaps after you were done

tracing.


C) Did a Save As after you performed the two previous steps. For some reason

if you don't Save As, the file remains large even after you have deleted all

of the bitmaps.


Good Luck
