If you are using the automated set up from <ahref="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Dashboard/Import/Online.html"id="xolnki_2"title="Dashboard/Import/Online"class="xowa-visited">Dashboard/Import/Online</a>, the BZ2 file is moved to /xowa/wiki/#done. XOWA does not delete this file in case the user wants to re-import the wiki, and avoid redownloading the entire file.
You can prune entire namespaces. For example, some users may not be interested in the Wikipedia namespace as it contains mostly meta-information about Wikipedia. The namespace itself is about 3.0 GB.

<p>
To remove this namespace, you can delete the entire namespace db. The file would be en.wikipedia.org-text-ns.004.xowa
