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If outdated records of Date Book or To Do List take up memory on your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

Book or Memo Pad, so delete outdated records from these applications.

The Purge screen appears.

purged.

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.
