Purge Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to delete a project and all of the ancillary files that are associated with it.

If the ancillary files are shared across multiple projects, purging removes the ancillary files from the projects as long as you have more than read-only access to the files. You cannot delete files to which you do not have access or if your access is read-only.

The difference between purging and deleting a project is that purging deletes the project and all of its ancillary files while deleting deletes only the project and the fiscal calendar (if you choose to delete the calendar).

If you select multiple project files for purging, the Purge dialog box displays for each project file.

You cannot purge a file that is open.
