db is in simple recovery model, log file is around 80GB,there is not much freespace to shrink file, trying to truncate but its not release the space.SELECT [name], recovery_model_desc, log_reuse_wait_desc FROM sys.databases;---it showing replication.
so removed the replication sp_removedbreplication 'mydbname' and disabled replication also , but still 'log_reuse_wait_desc' is showing as 'replication'.
Run CHECKPOINT, look at the log reuse wait again. What is it now?
Do you have CDC running/configured against this database?
