Colin, Sorry we missed this question.
Innostore stores its data in a B-tree which expands and contracts according to the keys you have stored. So yes, when you delete keys, it should reduce the amount of used space. But innostore also pads the tree to keep it balanced and capable of adding new keys into the middle, so there will be some wasted space and small numbers of deletions won't greatly affect the used storage.
