Growing database files

["Jeff Weinheimer" <jj_weinheimer@hotmail.com>]

When I add(ldap_add) entries to my slapd server, I see the size of the files 
in the database directory increase, but if I delete the entries(ldap_delete) 
these files do not shrink.

Even if I remove all the items from the directory, the file sizes remain 
unchanged.

What's left in these files when there are no more entries in the database?

Do I misunderstand what it means to delete an entry?
