increased file size results when migrating from RH6 to RH7

Question

Hi experts,
Not sure where to post this message, so I appologize for
repeating myself. I am a Frame Expert, but a RoboHelp Novice. I
created a new help project in RH7, based on an old one in RH6. It
generated and now the R&D department is telling me that many
new files are created and the file size is 10MB larger. Can someone
tell me if all these files are necessary?

xxx.ali
xxx.BRS
xxx.cpd
xxx.glo
xxx.hhc
xxx.hhk
xxx.ign
xxx.ldb
xxx.phr
xxx.ppf
xxx.pss
xxx.stp
xxx.svn
xxx.xpj

Im sure that most of these file extensions were created in
the previous version and that the file name itself (which I didn't
list) is what is new, but before I tell this to the engineer I want
to be sure.

Size is an issue because this software is being deployed from
a flash card. the extra 10MB in space could be considered a blocker
and stop our development.

Any help is great!
Laura

Those are files from the source. Your application only needs the files in the ouput. By default, these will be in a subfolder below !SSL!

Sometimes people ask if all the output files are required. The stock answer is only if you want the help to work. :-)

Do note though, you only need to deliver whatever is in the output you generate.
