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If outdated records of Date Book or To Do List take up memory on your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Book or Memo Pad, so delete outdated records from these applications.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.
4
Tap the arrow
V
and select how old a record must be to be
purged.
5
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.
