    Hi Apichai,

    The database is indeed related to Management Reporter (MR). Which exact version of MR are you using? In the past there was an issue where the database size could be too large. Check if you are running the latest version. If not you can update MR, delete this database and create a new datamart.

    Hi Apichai,

    According to the modified date and time, this database is in use, and based on name (MR) I think it's management reporter DB and you can't just delete it.

    It could be that the DB is highly fragmented and you can reduce DB size by performing the next steps in SQL management studio for the database (don't forget to make a backup before completing steps):

    1. Rebuild all index in DB (for example www.mssqltips.com/.../)

    2. Shrink DB docs.microsoft.com/.../shrink-a-database

    3. Shrink file docs.microsoft.com/.../shrink-a-file
