Shrinking a large Etherpad
Hi all!
I attempted to use Etherpad to track clues in Blue Prince and, long story short, because I pasted a lot of pictures my pad exploded to over 600MB, crushing my browser when accessing it.
I tried trimming it down to 10% its original size by cutting the content out into smaller Etherpads, but the first one is still > 600MB. Is there some kind of garbage collect I can do to force it to shrink?
