is the transaction log any significance to you? if not then you can issue a
1. backup log with truncate_only
2. dbcc shrinkfile 'logfile'

but this will only remedy what you are encountering right now, you should plan a backup system for your databases.

Check the current option for the database. If the database is in Simple recovery Mode(Trunc log on chkpt.) then there must be an open transaction running. You might need to kill that process before truncating the log and shrinkging the log file

..by "backup system", I'm sure Jen meant a Backup Strategy.

If you already have backup strategy that truncates the log after a full back, you might also want to move the log file to a bigger drive and/or analyse what is causing the log to grow that big.
