A popup will confirm you want to delete customer information. Click OK to delete the customer.
Once you have deleted a customer, their record information is still stored in the software. In order to permanently erase their information and free up a customer number for reuse, you will have to complete an additional step. If you deleted a customer by accident, seeĀ Manage Deleted CustomersĀ below to recover the record.
To permanently erase the information, navigate to the customer main feature page.
Select Cleanup old customers from the Customers menu.
This will permanently erase the customer data for any previously deleted customers. This means these customers can no longer be made active again, or have their information changed.
A popup will ask if you are sure you want to remove all deleted customers from the program. Once you cleanup old customer data, this cannot be undone, you cannot recover the customer information. You also cannot select individual customer records to be deleted permanently, any recently deleted customer record will now be erased when you select this option.
Select ok to permanently erase the customer data.
