Reclaiming disk space from DB2 XMeta tablespace after deleting projects

Troubleshooting


Problem

The DB2 XMeta database has grown over time as more development projects were created. After deleting all the old projects, the tablesize of the XMeta database has not reduced. The disk space occupied by the DB2 XMeta database is still the same. What DB2 commands can be run to reduce the XMeta tablespace on the hard disk?

Symptom

Deleting projects from the DS Administrator frees space on the XMeta database but this does not translate into a reduction in the XMeta tablespace occupied on the hard disk.
