But I don't claim to have any idea how this feature functions in SQLite.
The SQLite browser will have somewhere to run an SQL statement. You can enter "vacuum" in that and run it. The menu simple is a shortcut to running the statement.

As to why they chose "vacuum" for the name of the statement, I don't know. From my DB2 and SQLServer days, I think of it as "reorganize". "Compress" is a good generic term.
