Deleting or truncating log files
Deleting or truncating log files prevents them from becoming too large and possibly running up against a system limit that prevents from functioning correctly. Recommendations are as follows:
Delete or truncate the log files for the mrUserData and mrInterviewData databases as part of your regular system maintenance plan, as there is always a lot of activity in this database and the log file grows at a rapid rate.
When you back up a database, truncate or delete the log file that uses for recording messages related to that database.
Refer to your documentation for information on how to delete or truncate SQL log files.
