That's good, that you already looked into it.

Is there any way to reduce the size of those tables?

Something must have triggered it to get so big?

The screenshot I sent I found was actually already a year old, the database was comparatively small then. I just checked and the current table is 7GB big. I can't even export my database anymore with that amount of data.
