About index-size

This will be my last 2015 question.

It's related to index-size but maybe the answer is not Sigil related. I have been puzzled by some figures that I checked with both the Calibre Editor and Sigil: they provide very exactly the same figures.

Take an EPUB with a medium-size index included (530 entries or so).
The total size of this EPUB (images, fonts, everything) is 2129 k
When I open this EPUB and check the size of index.xhtml (either using Sigil report tool or right from the Calibre editor file navigator) it's 364 k
I suppress index.xhtml, plus what is in the Index Editor window (I know it's a little more than 7k.
I save and open again: the new size of the EPUB is now 2098k.

This process can be reversed. Importing a 7k text file, creating a 364k index file on this 2098k EPUB and ending with a 2129k EPUB.

I am just puzzled...

A logical answer would be that the suppressed files were not really suppressed. Is this possible? After deleting, I did save.
