We are running a series of Delete Queries to free up space on our SQL Server (2012) I was able to recover files after the "Recovery Error", but it is very time consuming.
So I keep the size of my deletes to about 1 million records, and this seemed to prevent triggering the "Recovery Pending".
Is there a better approach?
Thanks much

Use a loop to delete and make frequent transaction log backups while doing so. That way people can use the table and you will keep the transaction log at a responsible size
