Overview
Purging permits the user to purge selected records from the database.
It is highly recommended that you back up your database prior to purging operations, as there no way to restore purged requests. It's also recommended that no-one be using the system during a purging operation in case this causes the database to be modified after the point of last backup. If you purge the wrong item, you can immediately restore the backup without losing any data.
