Luiz, if you are working with MyISAM tables, the table files should be deleted when you DROP the table. If not, you might have an OS permissions issue.

If you are working with InnoDB tables in one tablespace, you cannot currently easily reclaim the space. See
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=1287

One way to work around the InnoDB behavior is to enable the file-per-table option when you do initial set up; it's discussed in the link above.
