I cleared some records and run VACUUM FULL using terminal. When checking the database size using terminal using below command it returns: 8892 KB
SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size(current_database())) AS total_size;
But in volume metrics it still says 452MB. It’s been few hours since I cleared the records. It was previously about 152MB.
Total size of all databases also returns values less than 452MB in total.

Postgres stores other data beyond just tables, such as transaction logs or WAL files. You can check this inside your container by running:

1 - What if I get a backup of the 'railway' database, and then wipe the volume and restore the backup via psql.
2- Also I see other databases as below, Are these tables contain any data of mine or is that just for internal infrastructure?
template1
postgress
tenplate0
3 - Also how to access the command you mentioned earlier?
