I have a 110Gb table that will not shrink after a index rebuild or Database shrink.

When I restore this database to another server the table is only 15GB with same amount of records.

This is a table that does have a large amount of Inserts/deletes and there are XML columns(FYI).

The index is a Clustered index

Try taking a t-log backup after the rebuild index task. This should help you out.

I ran the following:

declare @DBID int, @ObjID int
select @ObjID= OBJECT_ID(N'<tableName>')
select @DBID=db_id()
SELECT alloc_unit_type_desc, page_count, avg_page_space_used_in_percent, record_count, *
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats(@DBID, @ObjID, NULL, NULL , 'Detailed');

And .... I have LOB_DATA with 14Million+ Ghost_record_count.

Thanks
