Clear Disk Space

Disk space is required when you are trying to save your data, create data files, convert your data to a new version of the program, print, export a file, or exit the program or the icon window.

To clear some space on your hard disk:

  1. If you are running Windows 98 or higher, you can use the Windows Disk Cleanup feature (refer to your Windows documentation for more information).
  2. Delete files you do not need, such as old word processing documents and spreadsheets, and programs you never use. If you have created export files, you can free up some space by deleting these export files.
  3. Transfer files such as backups of data, current word processing documents, and spreadsheets to disks or external hard drives.
  4. Reduce the amount of detail kept in your data files. For example, you may be able to remove inactive accounts, or clear paid invoice forvendors or customers. You can also compact the database.
