It's important to note that dropping a table is different from truncating it. A drop will remove the table from the schema definition, but the data will remain on-disk. With truncate, the data is removed, but the schema remains. Truncate is also the only way to clear all data from a table in a single command, as a CQL delete requires key parameters.
