Acorn,
Thanks for your reply.
I have deleted the pages where the original document links reside. I would assume without the link, the document in the 'name_xar_files' would disappear. However, eventhough the page is gone, the documents still continue to save in the 'name_xar_files' folder. I do go into the folder and manually delete the unrelavent documents prior to export, but this is a dangerous action as I could inadvertently erase something needed. Other issues presented by this:
1) I also have the issue of "auto Saves" continually getting larger and larger. I selected to only keep 5 saves, but this doesn't work, they all save. In my backup's folder, I had close to 100GB and 95% of this was unnecessary files in the various 'name_xar_folder' folders. I clean up the backup periodically, but I will reach close to 100GB within a few weeks of work.
2) If I have multiple web documents open (all with the same phenomena), the auto save grinds and slows my computer down significantly. As even small web documents become large due to this issue.
I really can't think of a solution as the pages where the links reside are gone already. I may need to build clean templates for each project. A little time consuming, but probably saves in the end due to smaller auto saves and a smaller Backup folder.
For future Thread readers, your backup resides at: C:\Users\`\AppData\Local\Xara\XtremePro\12\Backups (also accessible from File/Open Recent/backups (at bottom of list)) or similar location. It should be reviewed periodically to ensure it doesn't consume your hard drive volume. I had backups from Xara versions as far back as 2006 (it's 2019).
