Re: reclaim disk space

[Dan Buettner]

Luiz, if you are working with MyISAM tables, the table files should be 
deleted when you DROP the table.  If not, you might have an OS 
permissions issue.

If you are working with InnoDB tables in one tablespace, you cannot 
currently easily reclaim the space.  See
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=1287

One way to work around the InnoDB behavior is to enable the 
file-per-table option when you do initial set up; it's discussed in the 
link above.
