Default Backup file - Problem?

I have finally got through several long download lists and deleted all download links.

I then saved a backup thinking that that would clear (empty) the backup file.

On checking the database.zip file in Program Files-JDownloader-backup the file is 13,212KB.

Opening the zip displays two further files:
database.script 100,39798 4Bytes
database.properties 434 Bytes

I know that these files aren't particularly large but am somewhat surprised that they aren't much smaller.

Just wondered if this is normal or has something gone wrong?

P.S. I have deleted all previous backup databases before saving this one.

100 MB is not normal for database.script with no links.
Have you tried to restart JD?

The database probably is corrupt, but there might be ways to recover it.

@Mav6215

I recommend two methods :-

1) I would copy all your links, that haven't been downloaded, to a text file and start with a clean jD installation.

2) You can also try this typical great Jiaz method : "Increase memory to compress the database". Jiaz knows everything about jD.

Is there any reason why you keep so many links in jD's queue?

Thanks for the replies.

@tony2long
I haven't used the Restart option with JD but I have rebooted the PC.

@remi
At the time I posted there were no links as originally stated.

Having been caught out a while ago from a JD crash I regularly backup my links. After downloading many links I delete them from the list and then choose Save>Backup.

Sometimes there are still links to which I add more then Save>Backup, download some then repeat this cycle till all links have been downloaded.

Yesterday was the first time for ages that I didn't have any links left and that is when I was surprised at the size of the backup file.

I have added more links since so when all those have downloaded I'll delete then try restarting JD using File>Restart.

Try Jiaz's method as posted by remi, need more memory to cleanup.
If still big, you may send the zip to me (PM me first for email address) and I will try to clean it up for you.

Then you can as well start with a cleanly installed jD.
