Purging Data in Offline Access

You can remove offline access data permanently by either a forced or manual purge. Complete either process from offline access using the Purge option of the offline access utility.

The following table describes the options.

Purge	Description
Forced	A forced purge is controlled through the Purge Data option in security parameters to ensure that data is purged under ordered conditions. If you have not synchronized within the specified time frame, you are forced to purge all offline access data upon login and to run an initial synchronization. Offline access is not available until all data is purged and until the initial synchronization is complete.
Manual	A manual purge is initiated by you to remove all offline access data permanently from the laptop. If you want to continue working offline, you must run an initial synchronization. Use the manual purge when: Moving from 1 environment to another, for example, test to production. Using a different Archer instance. Using a different laptop.
