Basically, it'll create a new error log file that SQL Server will be hitting. Then the archived error log(s) can be treated accordingly (delete/move with caution). This will not technically "truncate" the log, it'll just roll it over and you can handle the old logs as you so please, like any other file system file. When you do this, you should see a new log file with an entry that resembles the following: The error log has been reinitialized. See the previous log for older entries.

This caused the errorlog to grow too much. We have cycled the log file (sp_cycle_errorlog), so we have a new file. The problem is that we want to recover the disk space used by the previous file (errorlog.1). Apart from just deleting the file, what is the best way to delete this file to avoid causing log file sql any problems? We have already inspected the contents of the file.thanks. http://ozkary.blogspot.comhttp://og-bit.com Post #551101 Greg CharlesGreg Charles Posted Tuesday, August 12, 2008 9:36 AM SSCarpal Tunnel Group: General Forum Members Last Login: Yesterday @ 11:51 AM Points: 4,066, Visits: 5,750 You won't hurt anything by deleting the old error log file and that's the only way to get rid of it.

It would automatically drop off when you went past the configured max number of error logs. Greg Post #551468 reyvonreyvon Posted Wednesday, June 2, 2010 3:36 AM Grasshopper Group: General Forum
