CrowPanel 2.1" round with rotary encoder Example sketch too large (189% of available space)

Hi,
I am trying to complile and run the included example (RotaryScreen_2_1) for the CrowPanel 2.1inch-HMI ESP32 Rotary Display 480*480 IPS Round Touch Knob Screen in Arduino IDE 1.8.19, using the included libraries, and included SquareLine UI files. I've used similar screens before, and created my own SquareLine UIs in the past. This one, however, will not compile. When I try to verify the project, it says that the sketch is too large (Sketch uses 5951649 bytes (189%) of program storage space. Maximum is 3145728 bytes)
I even tried removing unneeded code (LED bar and all wifi code) and removed some of the un-used images). No clue how to get this to compile and run... How did Elecrow get their example built??

I set up the board (under the tools menu) exactly as described in the instructions in the GitHub repo.
