Mike:
Sort of depends on the OS/File System and the available space on your
drive(s).
If you have plenty of space, and are running Linux / Unix, I wouldn't worry
about it.
If you are running Windows NT, clean the mess up, then run something like
DisKeeper to manage hard drive and page file fragmentation. Windows 2000 is
a **little** better, but I'd still clean it up.

Subject: Clean up datadir
Hi all,
we just setup up on a new server and have transferred a bunch of databases
and
tables to the new server. All is working well... so far - so good! :)
My question is, during this process we did a multiple of create/delete many
db
and and a whole bunch of tables. Do we need to do any sort of "clean up" due
to
any fragments left on the server's HD from all the db and table deletions.
When
a db or table is deleted is there any segments left that need to clean up or
removed??
thx's
Mike(mickalo)Blezien
