I'm taking a class in C++ and am working on a really simple program for the first lab. (We're talking less than 20 lines of code.) I'm using Visual C++ 2010 Express as an IDE.
My project folder is over 5MB, however. The culprit is a "SQL Server Compact Edition Database File" that lives in the folder. Now colour me stupid, but I'm not doing anything remotely related to databases of any kind, let alone SQL, so why the h*ll is this file ballooning my 20kB project to nearasdamnit 6MB?
So I guess my questions are:
- What is this file and what is it doing in my project?
- Can I delete it?
- Is there a setting somewhere so that I can keep VC++-Express from adding this file in the future?
Thanks much!
