Oracle Database 12.1.0.2

Hi,

I have a tablespace MOBILE_DATA09. It is currently 1T full and can be extended to 2T.

It contains monthly partitions as shown in the screenshot below

If I delete partitions older than 4 months, Oracle will leave blank records. Will these blank records consume space? should I coalesce the tablespace?

Regards,

Roshan
