First thing you can do is turn autoshrink off. That's a setting which should never be enabled.

@itsgaurav

Can you please post your questions on the correct forums for the SQL Server version you're using? It will make it easier for you to get answers and we won't have to keep moving them. Thanks.

Are you running log backups?

And, I'm with Gail, turn off auto shrink.

Did you read the post I linked to? You need to have log backups enabled.
