MDB files

[John Sh]

I am running access 2010 split and in accde format under Windows 10.
I am getting a .MDB copy of the database each time I run the accde.
Is this normal?
At what point is this file generated?
Should I just delete them?
Given it's an old format, why is it still being created?

Do you have compact on close ticked? If so, the process may not be completing. Better not to do this as it can lead to corruption

No. What concerns me is that it is a runable copy of our data including the linked files., so a copy of the accde file.

Is it called Database.mdb? Check the system tables and references to determine whether its actually an ACCDE copy with the wrong suffix.
Try compacting manually and see if that stops it happening.
