This feature is only available from v1.0.96 onwards.

All databases grow in size as data is added, but they also grow through the usage of temporary space to perform normal database operations ranging from complex queries to reporting. While these operations will make the database grow, it does not automatically shrink. While this 'dead space' is reused again, it is often useful to force the database to cleanup empty space.

The Vacuum tool does exactly this - the tool collects used data areas to together and removes the dead space from the system.

Note - This tool is only intended for use with standalone (SQLite) databases. Networked installations using third-party databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL etc.) have their own similar tools.
