| I have a database (Recovery Model - Simple) on SQLServer-2012. This database is replicated with Push subscription using the Snapshot Replication. The log file is 150GB whereas the database is 10GB. I tried various methods to truncate/shrink the logfile/database however none worked. -- I took the full backup in Simple Recovery model and tried to truncate-- I changed the model from Simple to Full took both Full as well as Transaction log backup then tried to truncate the logPlease suggest how I can reduce the size of the Logfile.R |

| I wonder how much of the 150 GB file is actually being used. You can find out by right-clicking the db name in Management Studio --> Tasks --> Shrink Files. Check the Log file to see actual usage. Please post back with the results. |
