distribution data file is so big

  • Does anybody have experiences in shrinking distribution database? Currently I have a very big distribution data file, 60GB and I have been trying to shrink it down but it does not shrink down even though the shrinking execution did not give any error. The distribution data file just does not shrink down.

    Please advise if you have some idea.

    Thanks!

  • Did you check what is the size it using if your data file is fully occupied then shrinking will not give you space.
