How to delete CAD file from flexsim model?

Hi,

I wanted to know if there was a way of deleting a CAD file from the Flexsim file?

I wanted to change the CAD file being used, but when I removed the old CAD file using ;Toolbar->Model Background-> Model Background1 -> Delete; and uploaded a new CAD file. It seems that the file size on my Flexsim file increased as if the older version was still stored somewhere on the Flexsim file. The Simulaiton_3 has the new CAD file but is much larger then the Simulaiton_2 file for some reason, despite the newer CAD file being smaller than the previous CAD file

Software Version:

FlexSim 24.0.2

You can uncheck the embedded media option in model settings and save the model again, or you can remove the associated node from Model>packedmedia.
