    If your database is in full recovery mode, you can backup the Transaction log and then shrink the file.

    If your database is in simple recovery mode, you can just shrink the log file.

    However, also keep track of the size of the transaction log file initial size value. if this is set to too high, you will not be able to shrink your file below this size. you should reduce this limit first.

    I agree, however the question posted was

    My question is , There is no more space in the server and If I create same db with another name its occupying same size what i have mentioned above. How to reduce tran. log file to solve this issue ?
