 Usually the best way of freeing disk space is to do a [[backup_vpop3#manual_database_backup|database backup]] & [[restore_a_backup_of_vpop3|restore]]. This requires VPOP3 to be stopped while it is performed.
-If you are very short of free disk space, then you can use the 'vacuumdb' program, but this is not recommended except as a last resort. To do this, run **vacuumdb -f -U vpop3 -p <portnumber> vpop3**. After you have run this you will need to reindex the database as well - use **reindexdb -U vpop3 -p <portnumber> vpop3**. This "vacuum full" operation will generally take a lot longer than the 'clusterdb' program.
