I have the default my.cnf , which creates a 10MB file and IIRC default extension of 8MB (this is on a devel machine BTW). I have a couple of DBs with parsely populated tables, and loaded a test database with a lot of data which would account for the vast size of the file. I thought dropping the DB would free up space but this doesn't seem to be the case. I suppose the workaround would be to dump and recreate all databases.
