+## Vacuum the database
+
+### Analyze
+
+Running an `analyze` vacuum job can improve performance by updating statistics used by the query planner. **It is safe to cancel this.**

+```sh tab="OTP"

+
+### Full
+
+Running a `full` vacuum job rebuilds your entire database by reading all of the data and rewriting it into smaller
+and more compact files with an optimized layout. This process will take a long time and use additional disk space as
+it builds the files side-by-side the existing database files. It can make your database faster and use less disk space,
+but should only be run if necessary. **It is safe to cancel this.**
