And removed after vacuum completely finished. for me it is mostly the partitions and its indexes and some metadata relates to those tables. how i check that. create table before__vacuum as select oid, relname, relfilenode,reltablespace from pg_class order by oid; vacuum full t; create table after__vacuum as select oid, relname, relfilenode,reltablespace from pg_class order by oid; and then check relfilenode that do not exist in the db after full vacuum, select b.* from before__vacuum b where not exists ( select 1 from after__vacuum a where b.relfilenode = a.relfilenode) order by oid; oid | relname | relfilenode | reltablespace -------+---------+-------------+--------------- 26497 | t0 | 26497 | 0 26500 | t0_pkey | 26500 | 0 26502 | t1 | 26502 | 0 26505 | t1_pkey | 26505 | 0 26507 | t2 | 26507 | 0 26510 | t2_pkey | 26510 | 0 (6 rows) I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but you can run that yourself, and help figure out what is there in those 300+ changes.
