I just asked this on the other Burst thread.  How do I get an interrupted plotting file to show the actual correct size on the drive?  IOW, it is a 400GB, sitting around 55% and running, if I stop it now, I can rename the file, or even without a rename, the better miners will pick up the correct info, but the file itself will always take up 400 GB on the drive.  How can I correct that?

Search for PlotsFileChecker.exe it should be on the Burst Forums. This will truncate the file I believe and rename it also.
Nope. PlotsChecker can't help in this case. PlotsChecker only for not optimized plots.

You may interrupt Xplotter, but you need continue plotting later (using bat file)
I used something like this in C# when I had this problem. I'm not sure if the file was optimized or not, but setting N to the right value should do the job:
Code:
FileStream fs = new FileStream(FilePathAndName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
fs.SetLength(8192*N);
fs.Close();
