  • You likely have subscribers not picking up the updates, which is why the distributor is so large.

    Replication Monitor should help you determine where the holdups are.

  • Is your distribution cleanup job working? Or do you have anonymous subscription enabled? It looks like your old data in msrepl_commands and msrepl_transactions are not being cleaned up.

    What's your distribution transaction retention setting?
