I started getting warnings from my provider that I was almost exceeding
my alloted space. I checked and my site was no larger than ususal so
from my control panel removed and reinstalled the FP ServerExtensions.
This resulted in a saving of over 4meg. How is this excess space
accumulated and is there a way to stop it from happening?

The space is determined strictly by what your host wants it to be. We can't
tell you. Only they can ;-)

I think Larry is asking why his web space continues to grow when he has not
added any content to it.......or at least not added any content compared to
the amount it has grown. There is a place on the advanced tab of Site
Settings when you have the web loaded FrontPage that is on the server that
allows you to delete temporary files. I have not noticed that taking up much
space though. It could also be that if you have an e-mail account with your
web space that mail is taking up space too.

There are no Temporary files created on the server by FP
- they are all created on any user's PC
- the ones you are referring to are the current web's FP META data as web cache files in his folder:
%AppData%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache

More than likely the OP site is "growing" because of his log files

Is there a procedure for clearing the online server extensions cache, or
is that what removing/reinstalling extensions does? As I mentioned I
recovered over 4MEG when doing that. My log files are very small. Mail
does take some space as is not removed from server but I regularly clean
it out.
Larry
 
I repeat (read my prior post) - There is no online cache in the FP SE

What you may be recovering when you remove / reapply the FP SE are any search catalogs (which get rebuilt on any Tools Recalculate
Hyperlinks) and any "trash" you may have created w/ multiple themes, nav bar changes etc
