Default sms tablespace: decrease Size

Hello,
a SMS Tablespace is managed by the OS. When the DB needs a page the OS
allocates the nessesary Space for the DB.
But, what happens when all rows of all tables (belonging the SMS-TS)
are deleted. Deallocates the OS some Space? If Yes, at what Time?

Thanks for your answers!

To give back all the space you would need to do a REORG.
