Purging records

Purging a single record

To purge a record whether it is a contact, company, group, record, go to that record in ACT! and press the Purge Notes & History icon on the toolbar or go to Tools > Purge Notes & history to launch the Purge Notes & History wizard.

In the first screen of the wizard, you select whether you want to purge Notes or History records.

In the second screen of the wizard (history records only), you select which type of records you want to purge.

Finally in the fifth screen of the wizard, you select which records you want to purge.

For companies and groups, you can only purge the current record. That's also why the Purge History icon is not available in the company and group list views. Note that when purging a company or group, only history records or notes of this company or group are affected, not the history records or notes of the contact belonging to this company or group.
