 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Fixed
+
+- DROP TABLE/DROP INDEX (`free_btree_pages_inner`) leaked overflow-page
+  chains hanging off individual cells — only the tree's own leaf/interior
+  pages were freed. Table leaf, index leaf, and index interior cells now
+  have their first overflow page located and their whole chain walked
+  and deallocated before the tree structure itself is freed.
