Delete Unused Locations or Sources or Repositories

 

At the main screen pick File, then Locations or Sources or Repositories, and then pick Delete unused and the program will search your database for locations or sources or repositories that are not attached to any person or marriage.  These unused records will then be deleted.  

 

This routine is useful if you see sources or locations that you think are not being used showing up on a list.  If you run this routine and the sources or locations still show on a list, then a person or marriage is still attached to that source or location or repository.  To find out who, from the main screen pick Lists, then Word search and search for the location or source.

 

To find to whom a certain source is attached, pick Lists, Sources, then select the source and pick the button at the bottom to "Show everyone that this source is attached to".
