Off the top of my head:
Assuming youre workgroup file is system.mdw:
1. Close all databases & Access itself.
2. Copy system.mdw to a new name (eg. 1.mdw).
3. Open Access.
4. Use tools:database utilities:compact database (or whatever it is) to
compact 1.mdw to 2.mdw.
5. Close Access.
6. Rename system.mdw to system.mdw-backup (or whatever) (just in case).
7. Rename 2.mdw to system.mdw.
8. Delete 1.mdw.
