Claiming space from a SQL Server database is not like deleting all rows from a table or truncate it. Please follow the instructions if you want to reclaim your disk space.
- Run Sql Command:
DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (MyDBName, 10 )
Here MyDBName is a valid database name and 10 is the percentage of reserved free space. - Run following command to check percentage done:
select percent_complete, total_elapsed_time, estimated_completion_time, * from sys.dm_exec_requests where command = 'DbccFilesCompact'
