Hello,

In Illustrator CS4, I've cropped JPEG images (using the clipping mask). The problem is that the rest of the image, which I don't want, still remains in the file (albeit hidden, but it takes up a lot of space).
How can I remove this unnecessary part?

I've already read posts on this topic but I didn't understand the proposed solutions...

Thank you in advance

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 68.0

Thank you, but it's not working. I've tried several functions of the pathfinder, and none of them are working...
