Welcome back to the MongoDB Community Forums @Ian_Hannah !
“errmsg” : “collection name has invalid type object”
The issue is that you are providing an object (db.childdata
) for the collection name to compact
rather than the expected string value.
Something like the following should work:
db.runCommand({compact: "childdata"})
Note: code and log snippets are better as inline text. Images can be difficult to read (for example, this one seems to be oddly resized) and do not allow copying & pasting commands to reproduce issues.

Thank you so much! That did the trick
