Robert Newson resolved COUCHDB-1141.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.2)
We will not be changing this behavior. The contents of the body that you post
with your DELETE will be preserved by design.
Documentation should be improved so that this is clear and as many couch
clients should delete by forming an object with just _id, _rev and deleted
rather than naively adding _deleted:true to the full document.
> Docs deleted via PUT or POST do not have contents removed.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Database Core
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Wendall Cada
> Assignee: Robert Newson
>
> 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.
