You still did not answer what it is in your DB that is making it that size.

I see this when I go to ACP --> Attachments --> Attachment Storage Type. http://prntscr.com/5bpgqv

I believe this means that the attachments are being stored in the DB. Should I hit the "go" button?

In answer to your question, I do not exactly know what is being stored in the DB that is making up this size. There are 1million+ posts and around 70k users.

I am not really a technical expert so I have to pretty much ask my host to do everything server related for me (e.g, restoring DB backup) and then they whine that its going to take a lot of time because 2GB is a VERY BIG size. So that's why I was just wondering if I could do anything to reduce the size.

Max_Taxable, I believe I have answered to your post as well here.
