Shrink Log Files
If your database is configured to use a Full recovery model, your log files will grow indefinitely. The quick fix is to set it to a Simple recovery model and shrink the log files. You don't need the Full recovery model for local work.
- Right click your database and go to properties
- Options -> Recovery Model -> set to
Simple - Right click database again
- Task -> Shrink -> Files
- Set file type to
Log - Click OK
Do not do this on any production database or other DB you care about
