Cleaning the Database

This option is used to physically remove database records which have been identified by the system as erased. Most of these records relate to cards and are kept in the Deleted Components section of the database. Using this option will considerably reduce the space required by your database. It will also improve system performance relating to searches for card information. It will not affect the table Registry, nor will it have an impact on historical reports.

Note: It is strongly suggested to back-up the database before performing this operation. Clean database will suspend operation of the database while cleaning is in effect.
