Hi MineSharePoint,
Angel is right on pointing out the fact that the database will not reclaim the space even if you cleanup you recycle bin in sharepoint.
From the sharepoint, point of view, you have to manually perform Db shrinking for which you can follow methods mentioned in the below post

you would need to explicitly request to shrink the data files (or even the full database), which you can do in sql server using the GUI or t-SQL, but normally, you just won't.
the exception is if your database files had grown just "out of control", so you have to reclaim disk space.
normally, you would just keep the file sizes as are. sql server will internally reuse the space.
