Reduce DB size - SQL Server, SSMS One of my databases was growing in size a few gigs every day. That was very unusual since it is still in development phase. After small research i discovered that the Even Log table was almost the size of the database (100gb) so i cleared it. I ran a script to check the table sizes in this database and everything went back to normal. That is, no ridiculously fat table. However, the general size of the database didn't change despite the diet to the problematic table.

Any suggestions?

BTW, I am using SQL SERVER 2012

thanks, David
I would be willing to bet that your database is full recovery and that you are not taking transaction log backups.  Log backups are required for the transaction log to clear and reuse space.  Otherwise it will just continue to grow and grow.
