Hello Shannon,
The solution is to change the database properties from Full Recovery mode to Simple Recover mode. Once done, shrink the database. DO NOT delete the LDF file.
Unless SQL maintenance is configured to manage the log file, Full Recovery shouldn't be used (provides point in time restore, but seldom used and few actually know how to configure SQL jobs to manage).
Would coordinate with SQL management person to review all database configurations when able.
Hope this helps.
Andy
