Compacting a Dictionary
You can use the CompactDictionary function to reduce the size of the dictionary by removing garbage data from the dictionary file.

IMPORTANT
Before compacting a dictionary, be aware that the operation may require considerable time to complete. You should notify the user of this. Avoid the compaction operation unless it is absolutely necessary or is mandated by the user.
