Created attachment 143973 [details] Five files, from new empty document, to document with frame and Bitmap removed again. The filesize has not shrunk. The image ("Bitmap") file used. Removing an imported bitmap from a frame does not remove bitmap file from .odt file. Actions to reproduce: Add a frame: Insert | Frame-> | frame... Add a background to it, in LibreOffice parlour a "bitmap" that must first be "imported", and then added as "Area": <Select frame> | Properties... | Area | Bitmap | Import Observations: * The imported bitmap becomes visible as background to the frame, but is not visible in the Bitmap pictogram list in the Area tab. * The document grows in size according to the size of the imported image. Actions to reproduce: Remove the background: <Select frame> | Properties... | Area | Bitmap | None Observations: * The background disappears. * The filesize remains the same, even if the Bitmap is not being used anywhere else in the document. * There is no interface to list or remove the Bitmap. * The file and reference to it can be found inside the .odt file in a folder ./Pictures and in Styles.xml. IMO this is a bug, as it lets a Writer file grow without limit and without method to prune it. * LibreOffice should add imported Bitmaps to the Bitmaps list, or to a more general management GUI for imported data. * LibreOffice should have an option to manually manage Bitmaps contained in the document, used or not. * LibreOffice should perhaps automatically remove unused Bitmaps from the document file.
