That’s right, definitely don’t delete the default version….
All of the other versions that you have created can remain forever if you like.
When you reconcile, post and compress you’ll get the best results if no other users are connected at that time. That also includes map services unless they have been setup not to lock the features.
It really is that simple, just make sure you reconcile and post each version once.
And then do them all again. This way the first version will get the last version’s updates from default.
No need to recreate versions, map services (might just need a refresh) or mxd’s.
Of course you might get conflicts, but that’s whole other topic.

Hello, I’m hoping those on the listserve smarter than myself can help me out. I have a versioned SDE geodatabase. I need to do a compress to state 0, but I have a number of versions at this point. My understanding is that I have to post and reconcile, delete all versions (including default?), compress and rebuild statistics and finally recreate versions. I know there’s automation tools etc, but I’m just looking for a manual process at this point. My question is do I really just recreate the versions with the same names and everything and things like webservices and mxd’s etc. just work after that? It’s that simple? Nothing breaks? Much thanks in advance.
