The disk space will only be reclaimed after a proper vacuum. By default Postgresql does this for you on a regular basis, but if your instance has been running for a long time and there are many rows deleted, it may be advantageous to use `VACUUM FULL` (e.g. by using the `--vacuum` option).

You may run out of disk space during the execution of the task or vacuuming if you don't have about 1/3rds of the database size free. Vacuum causes a substantial increase in I/O traffic, and may lead to a degraded experience while it is running.

By default Postgresql has an autovacuum deamon running. While the tasks described here can help in some cases, they shouldn't be needed on a regular basis. See [the Postgresql docs on vacuuming](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-vacuum.html) for more information on this.
