Can I delete Transaction log on subscriber

Hi,
One of our subscriber server is full due to transaction
log too large. The replication was failed without no
space for the transaction log. My question is can I
delete the transation log? Or is there any way I can free
some space on that subscriber server? Please help me.
p.s. we do full backup on our publisher server every day.
Thanks,
While you can delete it I would urge you not to do this. By shutting down
SQL Server and deleting the actual log physical file is a bad idea, although
in some people have claimed to be able to do it, I have never been able to.
I hope you mean truncating it and perhaps shrinking the log file. This is a
better option.

Thanks for your reply.
Regarding truncating and shrinking, which one do you
recommend?
