Why size of database is not changing after deleting all records

[bawa_jain]

I had made a software in vb having database in ms access.I entered thousands of records in that database.But when i delete records form the the database by query:
"Delete from tbtemp" (tb temp is the tablename) then it delete the records from database BUT IT DOES NOT REDUSE THE SIZE OF DATABASE.
Plz tell me why the the size of database is not changing after deleting all records from database????

You have to compact the database to reduce its size.
