I traced a black and white schematic with 8 passes. The result looks good, but it's too many nodes and I need to combine everything that is on top of each other to reduce size.
Is there some way I can do this? I tried to just select all nodes and use "combine" command, but it doesn't seem to do much?

Why 8 scans for just a black+white image? To reduce amount of nodes you can try Path-Simplify - but it‘s pretty drastically in its effort.
I agree with Polygon : you don't need 8 passes.
You can reduce the number of paths. Select them all and do path > union. Then use path > simplify, as suggested.
