mongodb - Dropping Mongo collection not clearing disk space -
i have collection 750,000 documents, it's taking around 7gb on disk.
i've dropped collection, files (test.0...test.11) still on disk.
- if delete them, loose collections, not 1 dropped
- shouldn't mongo deleting them?
just noticed database stats have error.
{ "ok" : 0, "errmsg" : "collection [test.loadtest-2016-02-06 15:05:34z] not found." }
you have dropped collection, not database containing it. dropping collection not compact data files, nor deleting document. if want compact database, either drop entirely , reimport it, or compact using repairdatabase (see docs). beware though, cannot compact database online think if have 1 node.
if have replica set, adding new nodes , removing old ones safest way of compacting database online. time time , it's easy.
