Losing Storage Space

I have a slackware 10 box with mysql 4.0.20. I have just started learning to
use mysql.

I have used the medium file for my my.cnf file and have uncommented the
innodb stuff as that is what i wanted to play with.

I imported 3 million recs from my postgresql table into mysql as an myisam
table and ran some speed tests... I then converted the table to innodb
format and ran the same tests. When i was finished i dropped the table and
database i was using and my disk space is almst 2 gigs less than it was
before i started the test.

I am assuming the space went into a transaction log somewhere. Is there some
way to reclaim this space?

Thanks in advance.

Tommy
