What's going on with increasing exe filesize?

So here's me scenario...
That GForm app i've made i didn't want/need the cumbersome .gambas on the end of it so i rename it to just GForm.
Then...
When i recompile the GForm.gambas exe while the GForm exe exists in the folder my new exe becomes larger ???
When i say larger it got up to 26mb , just the Gambas exe alone. wtf !!
If I delete the renamed GForm file and compile again the new GForm.gambas exe suddenly drops to just under 400k
It's like the contents of the folder are being added to the compiled exe or something?
Very strange behaviour..
