    This is a common complaint about MySQL.
    The following is the only way to shrink the file:

    1. Back up all databases that use InnoDB tables.
    2. Drop all InnoDB tables.
    3. Remove the IBDATA1 file manually.
    4. Restore all InnoDB tables from your backups. This recreates the
    IBDATA1 file and fills it.

    This is very inconvenient, and it has been logged as a bug, but there is
    no other solution at this time.
