5 Background In the past, we have had limited manual clean up of data from CAR to free up space in the database. We have determined that CAR requires more frequent purging of data to continue to optimize CARs operation. In response to this, we have developed an Automatic Purge task for: aged transactions, client loaded files, templates and schedules, merchants, cancelled cards, inactive users and third party data. See the following slides for descriptions of what will be purged.
