LDF file Size is so increased

What the recovery mode of your DB?
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

i have set it to full.
How have you done the log backup? (Remember that even full database backup will not truncate log if you are using full recovery mode...Only direct log backup will work here)

Dear I take full back of DB after that i take only logs backup then try to shrink the log file but failed to reduce the LDF size.

I do with MS management studio.
OK. Explain how! (when you are using the Management Studio you have a 'Script' button at the top of the backup window. Pressing that button will give you the script Management Studio will run - copy that here!) (I ask you this because these kind of things are working so probably you miss something and I try to figure out what)

Please see the generated script USE [TEST_APP] GO DBCC SHRINKFILE (N'TEST_APP_Log' , 0, TRUNCATEONLY) GO I just want to truncate the logs.

TRUNCATE_ONLY option does not reorganize the file but try to free the empty block at the end of the log file...It is possible that without page-reorganization there is no actual space to free... Instead of TRUNCATE_ONLY use tager_size...
DBCC SHRINKFILE('your-log-file', 200) -- for 200 MB
It will take much more time as SQL will try to reorganize pages inside the log file and drop them if marked properly by the backup process...

how can i check the old recovery model? i try to change it from DB options but after changing to simple LOGS backup is not possible. DB is showing its size 221GB including LDF size.. Any suggestion to get out from this issue.

Try running the following query:
SELECT
[name],
recovery_model_desc,
log_reuse_wait_desc
FROM
sys.databases
WHERE
[name] = 'YourDatabaseName'Compare the value returned to the list on TechNet: Factors That Can Delay Log Truncation[^]
