I deleted a file from svn repository. It is big size file (about 460MB)

  • In eclipse - subclipse(SVN Repository) - select file & click right - delete

but, the storage space size is the same.

I use AWS EC2, and Ubuntu.

How can I recover my storage's capacity?

You are using a version-control system, so when you remove a file via the client, the file still exists in repository history. You can't remove the file using client tools. See the official Apache Subversion FAQ: How do I completely remove a file from the repository's history?

You can filter the history of the repository to get rid of the file. See SVNBook | Filtering repository history.
