Delete log files of database

hello ali
If you know that a log file contains unused space that you will not be needing, than you can reduce the size of the transaction log. this is known as shrinking the log file. (you can got to MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178037.aspx)
Shrinking can occur only while the database is online.
open your sql management studio--> Right click on database--> goto task--> shrink --> files than shrink files dialog box will be open you can select Filetype as 'log' and can see neccessary information about log file,select shrink action and click on 'OK'.
