Decreasing the Size of the InnoDB Tablespace
Currently, you cannot remove a data file from the system tablespace. To decrease the system tablespace size, use this procedure:

1. Use mysqldump to dump all your InnoDB tables, including InnoDB tables located in the MySQL database. As of 5.6, there are five InnoDB tables included in the MySQL database:

mysql> select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_schema=‘mysql‘ and engine=‘InnoDB‘;
+----------------------+
| table_name           |
+----------------------+
| innodb_index_stats   |
| innodb_table_stats   |
| slave_master_info    |
| slave_relay_log_info |
| slave_worker_info    |
+----------------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
      
Stop the server.

2. Remove all the existing tablespace files (*.ibd), including the ibdata and ib_log files. Do not forget to remove *.ibd files for tables located in the MySQL database.

3. Remove any .frm files for InnoDB tables.

4. Configure a new tablespace.

5. Restart the server.

6. Import the dump files.

You can reclaim operating system disk space when truncating or dropping a table. For tables created when file-per-table mode is turned off, truncating or dropping the tables creates free space internally in the ibdata files but the free space can only be used for new InnoDB data.

You can run OPTIMIZE TABLE to compact or recreate a tablespace. When you run an OPTIMIZE TABLE, InnoDB will create a new .ibd file with a temporary name, using only the space required to store actual data. When the optimization is complete, InnoDB removes the old .ibd file and replaces it with the new .ibd file. If the previous .ibd file had grown significantly but actual data only accounted for a portion of its size, running OPTIMIZE TABLE allows you to reclaim the unused space.
