  this is my code : </p>
  
  <pre><code> Dim engine As New SqlCeEngine("Data Source = " + Path + databasename)
              If Directory.Exists("\" &amp; otherPath) Then
                  If File.Exists("\" &amp; otherPath &amp; "\" databasename) Then
                      File.Delete("\" &amp; otherPath &amp; "\" databasename)
                  End If
                  engine.Compact("Data Source= \" &amp; otherPath &amp; "\" databasename)
              end if ...
