Might be a pretty simple question but I'm not super experienced with this. I have a raster displaying land cover in a city, and I reclassified to just display vegetated vs nonvegetated land, but it is so incredibly detailed that the file is basically unusable and anything I try to do with it does not load because of its size. I tried to make it easier to work with by converting it into a polygon shapefile, but it is still too massive and detailed. I'm now attempting to use the Simplify Polygon tool to help it, but it's been at 0% for the past 30 minutes. Any tips?

@mangorosi - I would examine the following workflows here and reduce the spatial resolution of the raster dataset to make it more usable in ArcGIS Pro.
