   2. Check the Size (MB) and the File Name.
4. Shrink the database or delete the log files:
   • If the file that consuming the disk space is a ldf file, it means only transaction logs is consuming the space. To free up the disk space, shrink the database using the SMSS.
     1. Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
     2. Right-click Apex One database > Tasks > Shrink > select Database.
   • If the file that utilizing the storage is mdf file, this means that the number of logs are huge and need to be deleted. You can delete and tune old logs:
     1. Log on to the Apex One web console.
     2. Go to Logs > Log Maintenance.
     3. Under Logs to Delete, set the number of day/s the logs will be retain.
     4. Under Log Deletion Schedule, set the Delete action frequency.
