This question is asked in various forms here but the question boils down to:
I know shrinking a database is risky. In this case, I've removed so much data and I'll never use it again.
- How can I shrink my database? What files do thisI shrink?
- What should my considerations be while doing this?
- Should I do anything after?
- What if it is a large database? Can I shrink it in smaller increments?
