SPEAKING frankly, and simply, space cannot be defined as such........as there is nothing more fundamental known to define it.
GETTING TECHNICAL, space is defined in the following ways- (but none of them is absolute)

1. by concept of dimension
3 dimensional is the most commonly thought of dimensional space, the number of dimensions for a space to exist need not be 3: it can also be 0 (a point), 1 (a line), 2 (a plane), more than 3, finite or infinite, and with some definitions, a non-integer value.

2.CLASSICAL PHYSICAL DEFINITION
In classical physics, space is a three-dimensional Euclidean space where any position can be described using three coordinates. Special and general relativity uses spacetime rather than space; spacetime is modeled as a four-dimensional space (with the time axis being imaginary in special relativity and real in general relativity, and currently there are many theories which use more than 4-dimensional spaces (both real and complex).

3.ASTRONOMICAL SPACE
In astronomy, space refers collectively to the relatively empty parts of the universe. any area outside the atmospheres of any celestial body can be considered 'space'. Although space is certainly spacious, it is not always empty, but can be filled with matter - say a tenuous plasma.

there are many other definitions of space, but as i told u, none of them is absolute.

in a super sucked bottle, when u suck, its just the air that u suck......not the space. the space is very fundamental, it cannot be formed or destroyed. so in a supersucked bottle, by all definitions of space, space remains unchanged. (with respect to a similar bottle with air in it )

Space-any volume.

What's inside a supersucked bottle? No matter, but plenty of energy. This energy can turn into matter by the equation E=m*c squared. However, a corresponding antiparticle will also be created, and the result is that in a very short time they will destroy each other, and turns back to energy.

Even if you could remove all atoms from an area of space, the space would still be seething with light and other fields, and, therefore, could never really be totally empty.

Judging by the way you worded your question, I would say that "space" is what is between your ears.
