Manually deleting media from the zip may screw the manifest up.
No, we don't write a detailed manifest, just dump out the media folder / import It back in,

Hiya
Thanks for your reply but need to clarify:
When using media - images, video etc. - during the creation of an LO, Xerte uploads these files from my local machine and stores them in a file area that I cannot see on the Xerte Server.

In a folder called media in the specific project folder:
{project_area}/media/the_media_files


After creating a Xerte Zip export and downloading it to my local machine, I realised that the file size was larger than expected. When I unzipped the file I saw that a couple of video clips - each about 5MB in size were still within the zip even though they are no longer used in the LO. They had been used but I subsequently deleted the pages where I deployed them.


Highlight the project, choose Properties >   Media and quota tab.
Then use the red X to delete the unused files.

I deleted the two video files from the zip folder and then rezipped the rest.
After uploading the modified zip file back to the sandpit, it creates the "Message from Webpage" which I included in my first email. Again, the LO appears to have imported but nothing appears on preview.

Try doing the deletions above, then export.
Manually deleting media from the zip may screw the manifest up.
