the user could truncate the log
however, truncating the log is not a regular action to be executed, only if really needed
typically, if the log file has grown MUCH too large, and you need to bring back the size to a reasonable size
in which case to not is that if you expect the log file to SHRINK as a result of the truncate log statement, you did not yet understand fully how the transaction log file works, and you should do some readings on that subject
