I have a really large databse and am running out of room on my hard disk. I presume that most of the holdem manager data for hand histories is stored in the PostgreSQL file (Being that it is my largest file on my hard disk)? If i purge the hand histories using Holdem Manager (not the full delete the one that keeps the stats but deletes the cards) will this delete the data in the PostgreSQL folder so free up hard disk space? I tried it on a small sample and it didnt seem to make any difference. If not is there any other way to free up hard disk space from the PostgreSQL file.

Thanks in advance

You need to do a vacuum after purge to free the space: http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=163

And you can delete all files in the pg_log subfolder of the postgresql installation.
