Help - shrink file or shrink database?

[icemel]

Hi, I have a database made of file groups.

I just truncated a huge table in one of the file groups. I now need to shrink the database in order to free up the space to the os.

Should I use the shrink database or shrink file command to do this? I don't have much experience working w/ filegroups.

Thanks much
