                 Key: COUCHDB-1141
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1141
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Database Core
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Wendall Cada


If a doc is deleted via -X DELETE, the resulting doc contains only id/rev_deleted:true. However, if a doc is deleted via PUT or POST, through adding _deleted:true, the entire contents of the doc remains stored. Even after compaction, the original document contents remain.

This issue is causing databases with large docs to become bloated over time, as the original doc contents remain in the database even after being deleted.
