    I am using SQL Server 2012 and I have only 40GB free space but the transaction log is taking over 90GB space.

    So is there a way to split this transaction log?

    First you take a backup of your transaction log file then choose the simple recovery model.

    I hope this helps you:

    Alter database <databasename>set Recovery simple
    USE <databasename>
    DBCC SHRINKFILE (<log_name>, 0, TRUNCATEONLY)
    GO
    Alter database <databasename> set Recovery full
