Is there a way to reduce the size of a CACHE.DAT file after a major reduction in global content has been performed?

Thx... Larry.

Yes, you can compact and truncate the database, though depending on your version, those utilities may not be safe to use. The most recent alert on that is here. If you're on a version older than that, you can run GBLOCKCOPY to clear up space, though that requires downtime.
