This is typically caused by the SQL recovery model for your database being set to **Full**. The Full recovery model allows for point-in-time restores, but requires careful management by a SQL administrator to prevent datafiles from growing too large. Access recommends setting databases to the **Simple** recovery model. The Access support team can shrink the data file for you. Ask your SQL server administrator to change the recovery model to **Simple** once the file has been shrunk.
