When I look into the Data file in Agent 1.93 I find multiple large
,dat files. I have been manually deleting them when individual files
reach excessive size, but wonder if there might be a way to configure
Agent's settings to automatically delete them when closing the
program. I have no reason to save any of the messages contained in
these files once read.

To get any space back, you will have to compact after the purge.
