How database storage works, and why your statistics might seem inaccurate.

I deleted some records, but my storage is still the same. What’s going on?

When records are removed, to support certain Xano features, as well as by design on the PostgreSQL database, that space is not immediately going to be marked as available and computed in your storage statistics – however, eventually the space those records were occupying will be reused when adding new records. In addition, it’s important to remember when considering this that a database table with 1000 records, that has had 999 of them deleted, is not the same in terms of structure or storage requirements as a brand new table with only one record.

My storage usage doesn’t seem to be updating.

Your storage statistics are updated at regular intervals throughout the day, and are not real-time.
