I want to reduce the ms access database file size after deleting data.

I have inserted some data in my test.accdb file, later i deleted the data from the file .

Before inserting data into it my file size was 10 kb.After inserting it became 2mb . later i

deleted the data but the size remains same.

I am using MS Office 2007.

data.

There would be a great appreciation if someone could help me.
