Expected Behavior
The size should decrease when users delete their chat history. The database size should adjust accordingly.
Actual Behavior
The webui.db file size does not decrease even after deleting chat history or resetting everything. Even actions related to chat history continue to cause the webui.db file size to increase.
Steps to Reproduce
Try uploading files or conversations with large chat histories or content and note the file size. Then, try deleting the chat history and observe the reason.
