# compact ## Syntax ``` compact ``` ## Syntax Description This command has no arguments. ## Defaults ## Usage Guidelines The space used by deleted records within the internal database is not always immediately reuseable due to the nature of the database. Over time, the database can accumulate a significant amount of unuseable space, resulting in decreased performance and additional disk space usage. This command reclaims the unuseable space within the database by rebuilding it. ## Examples ``` compact ``` ## Related Commands --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
