If it is the actual tablespace files you should be able to reclaim space by doing reorgs regularly.

I have a MySQL database running on Windows 2003. &nbsp;It is rapidly occupying space on my server. &nbsp;What is the best way to manage MySQL in order to purge data in order to reclaim space. &nbsp;It should be noted that this MySQL is running InnoDB inside and therefore the standard 14 day purging of data does not reclaim any space since it puts all tables into one table space. &nbsp;Thank you in advance
