A confirmation dialog box appears. If you want to save a copy of the deleted
item to an archive file in Palm Desktop software, be sure that the check box is
checked. If you don’t want to save a copy, tap the check box to remove the check.
(The archive check box does not appear in Note Pad because you can’t archive
Note Pad notes.)

Tap OK.
If you choose to save a copy of the selected item, your handheld transfers it to the
archive file on your desktop the next time you perform a HotSync operation.
Other ways to delete records
You can also delete records in the following ways:
■
In Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad, open the Details dialog
box for the record, tap Delete, and then tap OK.
■
In Note Pad, open the note you want to delete, and then tap Delete.
■
Delete the text of the record.
NOTE
In Date Book, you can choose to delete the text of the current repeating
event, current and future events, or all instances of that event.
Purging records
Over time, as you use Date Book and To Do List, you’ll accumulate records in these
applications that have outlived their usefulness. For example, events that occurred
months ago remain in the Date Book, and To Do List items that you marked as
completed remain in the list.
All these outdated records take up memory on your handheld, so it’s a good idea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 purge them from your handheld and save them in an
archive file on your computer.
Purging is not available in Address Book, Note Pad, or Memo Pad; you must delete
outdated records manually from these applications.
To purge records:
1.
Open the application.
2.
Tap the Menu icon
.
3.
Tap Record, and then tap Purge.
A confirmation dialog box appears.
