 * Hi
    the quastion is that: when you delete a post, it just goes off from yor site
   but still is in database! How can I delete the entire tables from database?

 * When you delete a post it is deleted from the table in the database. To delete
   the table is to break WP.

 * To restate Beel’s reply, deleting a post in WordPress does not (normally) keep
   it in the database. It does in fact remove the post completely.
 * You may need to go further into what you’re trying to accomplish here for us 
   to understand the problem.

 * when I opend the content of a table (in txt) I realised that my deleted post 
   where in the table. I am not sure of it is because of the delay in downloading
   the table or something else.
    in fact if the contents are there and only the 
   entry is deleted! it uses space in data base
