Q. A coworker built an Access database using one of the Access
Wizards. The resulting database had lots of unused queries, forms,
etc., and only one useful table.

So I created a new Access database and copied the table only into it.

The coworker's original database was 700 kB, but after I copied the
table-only into the new database mine was 4 MB.

What happened? I have tried running the "repair and compact" feature,
but I'm still sitting at about 3.78 MB.
