Also, I noticed that at least some log entries can be found in Windows Event Log (the ones about failed logins, for example). Will those get deleted too if I find a way to clear the SQL Server logs? Or should I clear the event log separately? I looked for an answer but people seem to ask mostly about clearing transaction logs which is not what I need. sql-server-2005 logs share|improve this question asked Mar 1 '12 at 6:44 Dyppl 11615 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted Log files in question are named ERRORLOG, ERRORLOG1 etc. and are usually stored in LOG folder somewhere inside MSSQL installation directory.

This caused the errorlog to grow too much. We have cycled http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/14182/clearing-sql-server-2005-event-log 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 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 http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic551101-146-1.aspx 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.
