Verifying Whether a Chunk Is Empty

To drop a chunk successfully from a dbspace with either of these utilities, the chunk must not contain any data. All pages other than overhead pages must be freed. If any pages remain allocated to nonoverhead entities, the utility returns the following error:

Chunk is not empty.

If this situation occurs, you must determine which table or other entity still occupies space in the chunk by executing onutil CHECK SPACE. Usually, the pages can be removed when you drop the table that owns them. Then reenter the utility command.
