Purging records

Over time, as you use Date Book and To Do List, you’ll accumulate records that are no longer useful. For example, events that occurred months ago remain in Date Book, and completed To Do List items remain in the list.

Outdated records take up memory on your handheld, so it is a good idea to remove them by using Purge. If you think Date Book or To Do List records might prove useful later, you can purge them from your handheld and save them in an archive file.

Purging is also available in Mail. See "Deleting email items" on page 193 for more information.

Purging is not available in Address Book or Memo Pad; delete outdated records from these two applications manually.
