VACUUM FULL is designed to release disk space back to the OS by rebuilding the table. Unless I misunderstand, this is the effect and desired intent.

Hello All,
The disk space is decreasing drastically after running "Vaccum Full".
I was expecting increase of free disk space after running those commands. I am on Postgresql 16.1
Any guidance/advise?
 
3. VACUUM FULL should only be run after deleting or updating a significant portion of a table.
