Sorry, Jose, the number is 40K KB ST_Data file. I'm sure you have one
that small somewhere along with your bigger 1 mg ones. If you want
the smallest ST_Data file, you know you can create one by installing
MS on a different computer or in a different directory and copying
the clean ST_Data file from the new installation. That one is smaller
than 40K KB.
