Hi @sydsydpeng ,

I've noticed the same since upgrading to the subscription version from 2018 Premier.

The size of the data file may not need to increase as transactions are added.  When you delete transactions or an account in Quicken, it does not make the file smaller, it just makes it blank and uses it when it adds information the next time, so there could be instances where the file does not get bigger.

I don't know if you situation meets that scenario, but it is a possible solution.
