Huge ASPState database log We're using SqlServer to store users session state of our webapps. We've recently noticed the ASPState.log_ldf file has reached 50GB. 

Is it safe to put the web apps down and then drop and recreate the ASPState DB? I don't see the point of having backups of this DB so we would also set simple recovery mode in order to avoid this problem in the future and spare storage space.
Set Simple and shrink the .ldf without having to re-create...I've done it many times over the years, although its been awhile
