About Delete Inactive Records

Deleting inactive records allows you to clear space in your data files for new data. You do not regain disk space when you delete historical data, but you can maintain your data files at about the same size from year to year by regularly removing old data.

You can use the Delete Inactive Records window to:

• Delete payroll history older than the number of years specified at Years of History to Keep on the Processing tab of Payroll Options in Setup.
• Delete terminated employees with no history.
• Delete inactive earnings/deductions that are not assigned to any employees or referenced in payroll history.
• Delete inactive taxes that are not assigned to any employees or referenced in payroll history.
