SQL server 2012 (not sp1) 64 bit ent.
The database is in simple recovery. During a large transaction I added a secondary log file not to let it fail.
Now I made the primary log file 50gb in size, secondary 1mb in size with no autogrow.
tried
Checkpoint, shrink, remove file -- no luck
insert 2 million rows into a table to create some log data and then Checkpoint, shrink, Checkpoint, remove file -- no luck
detach database , attach_with_rebuild log -- no luck
I cannot seem to get rid of this log file, any ideas?

I get the below error every time
The file 'XXXX' cannot be removed because it is not empty.
