Decrease the size of an SDLTM

Question

Hello friends! 
 
 Could you help me decrease the size of an SDLTM? 
 
 Ours have 1.2 GB after the latest update for Trados 2021. 
 
 I`ve tried many plugins, remove duplicates and all, but no luck. 
 
 I`ve exported to TMX, which is 600 MB in size, and has 990k entries. 
 
 Hope to hear from you soon. 
 
 Thanks in advance!

 Please can you qualify this statement? 
 
 did you already have an SDLTM, already upgraded to an SDLTM with all the fragment matching included? 
 were you already using 2021 and just upgraded to the last CU or SR1? 
 
 I really doubt that the last upgrade in 2021 caused anything like this. I think it is more likely that you simply have a TM that now includes the fragment matching segments in addition to the normal translation units and you are not familiar with this.

You have updated the TM in Studio to use it with all the features supported there. This includes fragment matching and many more. This results in increasing the TM size. A TM of 1 million segments will have over 1 GB, that is completely normal. The EU TMs have over 9 GB on my PC and my own TM is 4 GB. As the storage space in a PC is really cheap now, I do not really understand your problem here.
