something
If you shut down the IS or simply dismount the store all of the transaction
logs should be committed to the database. You should be able to do an
eseutil /mh to dump the header of the database to determine if it is in
clean shutdown.
I would agree with Mark in that you should be doing regular online full
backups that should be purging your transaction log files.
I would never say delete the log files but if you are trying to make up for
space and your databases are in a consistent state move them to an
alternalte drive with more space.

Hope that helps.
