I can't deal with an error which I unexpectedly met in Autocad 21.0.
My operation, it seems, will never end now. I worked over the project nearly two months hard. But recently, I with horror found out that all my operation is spoiled. I cannot open the project because the program reports to me about an error: Unexplained file size increase. I hope that someone faced it and will help to solve somewhat quicker to me this problem.

Maybe try the steps that Kamari Olsen suggested in this post: https://grabcad.com/questions/what-could-be-wrong-with-autocad
It sounds like a similar issue.
If a file can not be opened, take the following steps:
• RECOVER command
1Dwg recover a selected drawing file
2If successful, open and run AUDIT command
3Evaluates drawing integrity and possibly more error correction
4Set system variable AUDITCTL=1 to create a report of audit results
• RECOVERALL command (introduced in AutoCAD 2008)
1Recovers a selected drawing file
2Attached and nested xrefs are also opened, repaired, resaved, and closed
• INSERT and EXPLODE
• Start a new DWG with no template
1Run INSERT and selected the corrupted drawing
2Check the “Explode” option
