> Its not really changing in size when I delete files

Deleting files will (likely) not reclaim any space in cwfs(4).  If the
files you're deleting are already in the dump and haven't been pulled
the cache, then deleting them just writes out a new parent directory
without the entries for the deleted files.  This new/modified
directory will later be written out to the dump.

Not sure where you're getting the 300MB figure from, but keep in mind
that these numbers are all in "blocks" so you need to multiply by 16K.
