I have attempted that, several times in the past 5 or 6 years. The list
of stuff it will also remove is usually several printed pages, IF you
could actually get a printout. Unfortunately, you can't even copy/paste
for a record from that screen by any method but a screen snapshot series.
All this is a big sigh, and a list of things that could make it simpler to
do if a record of what it proposes to remove could be had, but before the
fact so one could do his own homework and make some more intelligent
choices.
Thanks Mart.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
