You don't have to do anything in Oracle after doing a DELETE.

To add something more in the discussion

If you are truncating a table in Oracle then you dont have to do anything because this command will bring down the HWM(High Water Mark) itself.


 SQL> truncate table table_name;

But if you are deleting rows from a table then Oracle will not bring the HWM down.

SQL> Delete from table_name;

can read this link.
