I'm trying reduce &nbsp;the logfile on a SharePoint Database that I think it unnecessarily large. <br />
It's the sp_WebAnalyticsStaging DB, I'm not sure what this does even. <br />

The DB size is 129MB and the logfile is 16GB! <br />
It's the initial size of the logfile that looks odd, it' set to 15898 MB, not sure why.<br />

Can I just reduce the initial size of this logfile? <br />
