            <title>[DOCS-1878] FAQ on MongoDB Storage incorrectly states that compact reclaims disk space</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/DOCS-1878</link>
                <project id="10380" key="DOCS">Documentation</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;In this section&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/faq/storage/#why-are-the-files-in-my-data-directory-larger-than-the-data-in-my-database&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/faq/storage/#why-are-the-files-in-my-data-directory-larger-than-the-data-in-my-database&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;under &quot;Empty Records&quot;, the page says:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MongoDB can reuse this space, but will never return this space to the operating system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To reclaim deleted space, use either of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;compact, which de-fragments deleted space. &lt;span class=&quot;error&quot;&gt;&amp;#91;...&amp;#93;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This to me reads as if I could use &lt;tt&gt;compact&lt;/tt&gt; to reclaim deleted space, which is not correct. There is a little yellow warning box below that states that compact won&apos;t reclaim disk space, but the two statements contradict each other, which is confusing. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This should be clarified and compact should not be listed under &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;To reclaim deleted space, ...&quot;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
