I would be careful in "compacting" an EndNote Library or database by
importing it into a new file.  I did this and discovered that I
essentially lost the capacity for "quick" Keyword searches in the new
library.  The keyword search works, but it takes just as much time as any
other kind of search.  I threw away the original two libraries that I
copied, recovered one with my backup program, but discovered that the
other was damaged on the backup program and couldn't be recovered.
Perhaps there is something odd in my configuration that produces this
effect, but before throwing out the original library, it might be good to
check the speed of Keyword searches in the new "compact" library.
