That was understood. As Karin mentioned, it's database compression.

Bam! So I don't need to purge, just compress, given that I set no
limits on either time limits or maximum message counts. Purging
would be meaningless. I started to compress and rapidly cleared 20
additional mb, at which point I ran out of space in C:\. I closed
other programs and will begin again. It's going to take quite a
while, but the regained space will keep me going for a while, and
till the new hard drive arrives.
