Thanks for your quick response Ciapala. The problem is that I cannot run a full exchange backup because I don't have an external tape backup and when I attempt to back up to the disk, I don't have enough disk space. So, by enabling Circular Logging...the old transaction log will get removed automatically, over time?

I noticed that I have transaction log entries that take up over 15 gigs of space. I've checked microsoft's knowledge base and I couldn't quite understand how to remove or permanently delete the old logs to free up space. Can anyone tell me how I can delete the old transaction logs...
