Re: Disk space taken

Thanks Richard,

Running vacuumdb --full freed the rest of the disk space. Regarding indexes
from what you said I understand that if I want to free the space used in the
past by indexes and that isn't freed yet (but it should) I should run
reindexdb (or reindex in SQL). I did that and another 300MB got freed so
thank you for both hints,

Cheers,
Slavisa
