I have a large table that I remove around 10m rows from every 2 months. I
try running Vacuum Full w/Analyze (both boxes checked in PG Admin), but the
disk space is never returned to the system. Any way I can force this?

I'm running 7.4 on CentOS4.3

You likely have index bloat. try reindexing.

Thanks for the tip. I probably should've waited for vacuum to actually
finish instead of cancelling it prematurely (thinking PG Admin was
finished).
