Any tips for stopping a database from growing.

Also a more specific question. Say I have some log table partitioned by month. The idea being I can keep pruning so that I only ever have two months of log data in the table. Say a month (one row per second) is 3 million rows. If I remove a partition with 3 million rows will that actually reduced the size the database takes up on the disk?
