size of backwpup plugin

In version 5.3, you’ve said:
“Reduced plugin size – We’ve made the plugin smaller, so it uses less space and runs more smoothly on your server.”

I can’t see any reduction in size. The plugin was 172.92MB in version 5.2.3 and is 173.69MB in version 5.3, so actually an increase

Is there something I need to do (e.g. uninstall / reinstall) to get the smaller plugin size?

It seems that it is the AWS (62.43MB) and microsoft (79.98MB) folders (under the ‘vendor folder) that are using the most space. Considering a lot of people won’t even need/use those folders (if they’re not backing up to AWS or microsoft), is there some way of making those ‘addons’ so that we don’t have to have the bloat if we don’t need it?

Your plugin is the biggest one I have – even bigger than woocommerce (80.79MB)

Thank you for the ability in 5.3 to have database and files in the same backup.
