I have deleted a large number of records from my_table, which originally had
288 MB. Then I ran vacuum full to make the table size smaller. After this
operation size of the table remains the same, despite of the fact that table
contains now only 241 rows and after rewriting it in classic way: CREATE
TABLE new_table AS SELECT * FROM old_table - new_table size is 24kB.
What went wrong? And how can I remove those blocks?
