The point of deprotected maps is that you can edit them in WE. They're generally too big to be played because they've got all the WE data in there. Optimizers will remove that stuff, making it a playable size, but at the cost of no longer being able to open the map in WE.

Some deprotected maps are small enough to be played, but generally, you edit the deprotected map in WE, save, and then save another copy. Use an optimizer on it, make it remove the WE data, and it will shrink to a playable size. Then, you still have the deprotected copy for editing, too.
