# Compact the Data Index

You can reduce the space that the documents in the IDOL Content component data index take up by running a compact operation. In this operation, new documents fill up the space that has been created through the deletion of documents (similar to defragmentation).

You can compact the IDOL Content component data index

- immediately, by sending a `DRECOMPACT` action.

- at regular intervals, by setting up a scheduled `Compact` operation.

NOTE:

You can automatically back up the IDOL Content component data index whenever you send a `DRECOMPACT` action. HPE recommends that you back up Content before you compact.
