You can use below query to generate DBCC Shrikfile command for data and log file. Next step you have to copy the output from the result windows & execute it.

Query

select 'use ' + db_name(dbid) + char(13) + 'dbcc shrinkfile (' + quotename(sf.name,'''') + ' ,truncateonly)' from sysaltfiles sf
inner join sys.databases sd on sf.dbid = sd.database_id
where state_desc = 'online'

    There was a missing “sys” in your select for sys.sysaltfiles table. Here is the corrected syntax.
    –Generate DBCC SHRINKFILE commands
    select ‘use ‘ + db_name(dbid) + char(13) + ‘dbcc shrinkfile (‘ + quotename(sf.name,””) + ‘ ,truncateonly)’
    from sys.sysaltfiles sf
    inner join sys.databases sd on sf.dbid = sd.database_id
    where state_desc = ‘online’

      thanks, I haven’t add sys because it can work with SQL 2000 as well.
