One database one 24Gb, and the log file was 2.5 Gb. I tried a number of things to free up space, including a 'delete old files' option from the application using the db. I ran this process and then the logfile went down to 11mb. The DB file size didn't really change though, but thats fine - freeing up the logfile allowed the application cleanup process to run (once again increasing the logfile size in the process! haha, guess I'll need to run this again afterwards :-) Count another success for this process: I had 9mb of free space on my C:\ drive, where we had accidentally installed the SQL databases.

I reclaimed half of the total disk space allocated for SQL data! Fantastic! Have been using this script for all other database servers we have! Thank you so much for this.
