What does it mean "Shrinking"

I have noticed that on some of my livePCs in the area where it says buffering or calculating it sometimes says Shrinking. What exactly is it doing then??
"Shrinking" is a process
"Shrinking" is a process where zero blocks are removed from virtual disk files. It helps to reclaim space on the drive. It is supposed to happen in the background and be non obtrusive. You may notice the disk going and the status "shrinking" appear from time to time.
