Thunderbird asks to compact but doesn't

Every time I open Thunderbird it asks:

"Do you wish to compact all local and offline folders to save disk space? This will save about 5902 GB"

Which is interesting since I am only using a total 182 GB of my hard drive.

If I click yes nothing happens. Even after successfully compacting manually I get the same message when I restart Thunderbird.
