How do I get the size of a VBO in OpenGL-ES?

Question

I was sending vertex arrays (of 32 bit floats) to the GPU every time I wanted to draw them, but this wasn't efficient, so I switched to Vertex Buffer Objects to cache my vertex arrays in the GPU.

It's working, but I was wondering if there's a way to determine the size of a given VBO later on without going back to the original vertex arrays? Here's the process I'm struggling with:

1. I have a vertex array of, for example, six 32 bit floats.
2. I send my vertex array to the GPU via OpenGL-ES where it's stored in a VBO - to which I retain a handle.
3. My vertex array is redundant at this point so I delete it.
4. Later on I use the handle to make OpenGL-ES draw something, but at this point I'd also like to know how to determine the size of the vertex array that was originally used to create the VBO. I now have just the VBO handle - can I re-determine somehow that I'd stored six 32 bit floats in this VBO?

I'm probably missing something really obvious. Thanks for any suggestions!

Doh! Just found it:

int nBufferSize = 0;

glGetBufferParameteriv(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, GL_BUFFER_SIZE, &nBufferSize);

int originalVertexArraySize = ( nBufferSize / sizeof(float) );
