Try using "compact" (compacting database) after you clean logs..

"When documents and attachments are deleted from a database, Domino tries to reuse the unused space, rather than immediately reduce the file size. Sometimes Domino won't be able to reuse the space or, because of fragmentation, can't reuse the space effectively until you compact the database."

If the doc count is not going down, perhaps you have soft deletions enabled. See here for details.
