Server Backup Many Times Bigger than World?

  • Hello, I am trying to drastically reduce world size via MCA Selector for the upcoming 1.17 update as well as to save space from all the backups:

    I replaced the "world" file (originally over 300MB) with the reduced one (around 20MB) by downloading the original, editing it, and then reuploading it in "Worlds" tab.

    In the screenshot, you can see before the backup was 284MB, but after I replaced "world" with a far smaller file, it increased to a whopping 360MB!



    Is it possible and safe to wipe all the files in the server (except backups) and reupload? Cause it appears Aternos is saving extra old stuff I don't need even though I cannot see it in the "Files" tab.


    Thanks.
