# Can I reduce database size in CathexisVision software?


|| **Problem**
Is it possible to reduce the size of a database in all versions of CathexisVision?

 
| **Solution**
NetBSD does not use the file system database engine, and the code does not allow for the database to be reduced in size.

CathexisVision 2014: Fedora and Windows use a Basic file system database, and it is possible to edit and reduce the size of the already created database.

CathexisVison 2015 and higher: The new advanced database only allows you to reduce the size if the database if it consists of multiple slices (volumes/disks).  You can delete the slices in order to reduce the overall database size.

NB* When deleting slices of a database you will be deleting recorded footage that belongs to that slice in the database
