Removed collections under Database, still could see space occupied by database

[gowtham-ji]

Hi @Diogo_Recharte
Current db size – 100gb

backup taken for 100 gb data - on-demand-backup-21012025-174500

after backup - added 6 more documents to single collection under mongodb10 database

after backup - created 48 kb mongodb11 db with two collections

Restoring the mongodb using backup name and backup completed time

OUTPUT: MONGODB11 SIZE – 80 KB

My question is I couldn’t see any collections under the mongodb11 database, but still 80KB space occupied by mongodb11 and how to remove those 80KB space?

Hi, logical restore does not remove any collections except the ones that are part of the backup. This is a design decision. If you need you can always remove those manually.
