Good morning. I have just finished exporting a 26-minute video and find the file size to be about 22GB. I am wondering whether deleting unused disabled clips [nearly 25 minutes of disabled audio track] will result in a reduction of exported file size.
Thanks in advance for your answer/s.

Disabled clips (V key) are still in your Timeline and will factor in to the export. eg. disabled clips appear as black and/or no sound.
Deleted clips will make a difference. Audio will be less noticeable than video to export size.

A 26 minute video should be nearer to 2GB than 22GB.
Are you sure you have exported it using H.264 and not ProRes?
Slips like that can occasionally occur . . . I appear to be particularly prone to such things!
As Ian suspected - you are exporting as ProRes. This creates massive files.
Change that to H264 and see how much smaller they will be!
Good afternoon Ian. Nice to see you join in:). Hope you and your wife are doing well. We have been facing lockdown conditions under home quarantine since 22nd March but it has allowed me to focus more about my videos:).
I am glad that you have chipped in. I am sending the screenshot of the present video:
The 45 minute sync-clip on the timeline got cut down to 25 minutes duration after editing. Apart of a few selected clip portions, clips the major portion of the 35-minute long audio clip is disabled. I have exported the video as H.264 and at 1920X1080 resolution.
Perhaps I can take a snapshot of this project, delete the unused and disabled audio cliplets and export a new movie to know the effects upon output file size.

Dear Alchroma. Thanks for this illumination:)
My video files are becoming of grade 4 obesity and have to be subjected to some weight loss programs!
Haha, funny.
Here's my joke:

Hehe, gave me 20 seconds of laughter and a smiling face for longer periods, occasional re-laughs while recollecting your two-diet diet:)
Hey I've done the deletion of muted clips but I find that this time too the projected output file size is a massive 25 GB approx! 1GB for each minute of video!
Thanks Ian and Thanks Luis, la la la:) :) :)
Do presence of disabled clips on the timeline result in larger export file sizes
