I hope someone can help.

I have accidently when messing about with a SQL Server database, created a second transaction log on a different drive of the server. I thought that the second log would be empty, but it seems to have created a replication of the original transaction log (both are 7GB in size).

Noting my mistake, I decided to try and delete the second transaction log. Unfortunately I received a message to say that the file was currently in use (Access violation), so I couldn't complete a delete.

I am now quite worried what the second transaction log must be doing? I really want to get rid of it so that the SQL database only uses the original log. I realise that the transaction log is a crucial cog of SQL databases. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't mess around with stuff that I'm not 100% clued up on.

What can I do? help?
