Smalltalk condenseChanges  will remove a lot of obsolete sources text.
You can also do this:
Smalltalk condenseSources
This will merge all changes with the sources. In otherwords, it creates a
new sources file that contains only actual method sources and an
empty changes file.

abandonSources removes all sources. When you have to use
Squeak on computers with *very* small hard disks, this is an option,
but I do not recommend it much. The sources are so very helpful for
education and self-assessment, they should not be dropped.
(When you drop the sources, the browser will show you synthetic
sources that are created by the decompiler. That is also an option,
but you loose all comments).
