On windows, sometimes people have complained that they can't compact a database. I had never seen it until this week, and after a fair bit of hair pulling, i found the problem. It's due to having a chess engine open !
Windows has less sophisticated file handling than Unix, and opening a base, and then an engine, means the engine will prevent removal of the old si4 file during compaction. I have written some checks to enforce this (in subversion) but since 4.15 is not coming out soon - for the moment the work around is to close all engines first.
