Doesn't PostgreSQL clean data in data file after delete records form table?

Hi,
  we are using PostgreSQL 9.3.6 version and observe data file size is not
decreased after we deleted records from the table. It looks quite abnormal.
Is it as PostreSQL designed? 

DBTestPostgres=# select count (*) from test_data ;
     0

# ls -l
total 788932
