Purging records

If outdated records of Date Book or To Do List take up memory on your CLIÉ handheld, it’s a good idea to remove them by using Purge.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 save them in an archive file on your computer. Purging is not available in Address Book or Memo Pad, so delete outdated records from these applications.

1 Open the application.

2 Tap the Menu icon.

3 Tap Purge from the Record menu.

The Purge screen appears.

Tap the arrow V and select how old a record must be to be purged.

If you want to save a copy of the purged records on your computer, select the “Save archive copy on PC” check box.

If you want to delete the records completely, clear it.

6 Tap OK.

If you chose to save a copy of the purged records, your CLIÉ handheld transfers them to an archive file on your computer the next time you perform a HotSync® operation.

Note

Purging does not happen automatically. You must tap the command to make it happen.
