Every time you complete the purge process using the Purge wizard, Sage 50 generates a purge log. The log is a report that details which transactions and records were removed by the process. It also tells you which ones remain and why; this information can be very helpful when troubleshooting the purge process.

To review the purge log, do the following:

  1. From the Windows Start>Programs menu, select the Windows Explorer option.
  2. Locate and open the folder where your company data is located.
  3. Double-click the file PURGE.TXT.

    4. The purge log opens in the Windows Notepad.
