If you choose to save a copy of the selected item, your phone transfers it to
the archive file on your desktop the next time you perform a HotSync
operation.
Other ways to delete records
You can also delete records in the following ways:
ᮣ
In the Details dialog box of the application, tap Delete , and then
hold Option and press Return to finish.
ᮣ
Delete the text of the record.
Note: In Date Book Plus, if you delete the text of a repeating event, you
delete all instances of that event.
Purging records
Over time, as you use Date Book Plus, To Do List, and Expense, you’ll
accumulate records in these applications that have outlived their
usefulness. For example, events that occurred months ago remain in the
Date Book Plus, and To Do items that you marked as completed remain
in the list, as do Expense items.
All these outdated records take up memory on your phone, so it’s a good
idea to remove them by using Purge. If you think Date Book Plus or To
Do List records might prove useful later, you can purge them from your
phone and save them in an archive file.
Purging is not available in the Contacts view in PhoneBook or in Memo
Pad. So you need to delete outdated records from these applications
individually.
