Handspring 300 User Manual

Section 5

A confirmation dialog box appears. If you want to save a copy of the 
deleted item to an archive file in Palm Desktop software, be sure that 
the check box is checked. If you don’t want to save a copy, tap the 
check box to remove the check.

Hold Option 

 and press Return 

 to finish.

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.

You can also delete records in the following ways:

©

In the Details dialog box of the application, tap 

, and then 

hold Option 

 and press Return 

 to finish.

©

Delete the text of the record.

In Date Book Plus, if you delete the text of a repeating event, you 

delete all instances of that event. 

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All these outdated records take up memory on your phone, so it’s a good 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 So you need to delete outdated records from these applications 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.
