Couple weeks ago one of the job failed with the message stating that the file can not be removed because it is not empty. I have implemented quite a few partitioned tables and created a stored procedure which switches data from a 3 months old partition and then merge the partition. The process has been working fine but suddenly it failed. I check the partitions, but there was nothing in the file. I started to search the Internet and I found a help in here by Jeffrey Yao at SQLServerCentral.com. In my case the file was created originally 5 GB in size but during the month it grew to 5.5 GB in size and the file size was still 5.5 GB. I followed Jeffrey's steps and shrank the file to it's original size of 5 GB and then the process ran successfully to merge the partition.
