I was wondering if this might be the cause of some of the issues noticed recently. Our Server log file located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\BackupServer15_Log.LDF is 12 Gb and the BackupServer15_Data.MDF in the same location is 2 Gb.

Can anyone comment on how we might manage these files?

Hmmm...I've seen here a solution for that issue some time ago.

Actulally I don't find that specific topic again...

It was something with the log settings of MS SQL...

Found the solution :-)

Go to SQL Server Management Studio or Studio Express

Right click on the database, Properties, Options, set Recovery Mode to Simple, OK

then

Right click on the database, Tasks, Shrink, Files, File Type=Log, OK

C'est tout

I now have 10 Gb more space on C Drive
