Purge Wizard - Purge Is in Progress

How Do I...

This window lets you know that the Purge wizard is removing your old company data. At the middle of the window, a pair of progress meters show you how much of the process has been completed.

  • The first meter shows in percentages how much of the current task, such as purging receivables, has been completed.
  • The second meter shows in percentages how much of the total purge process has been completed.

Purge Is Complete

When the purge process is finished, the window will announce, "Purge Is Complete."

  • To close and exit the Purge wizard, select the Close button.

Note: To cancel purge at any time, select the Stop button. If you do, however, not all eligible transactions and maintenance records will have been purged. To see a log detailing what the purge process has completed, select the Log button.

At a later time, you will probably want to run the Purge wizard again to remove the remaining unneeded transactions and records.
