Introduction
	DB Delete was written to address the problem of aplications uninstalling themselves and leaving behind databases in the Windows(r) CE object store, and as a way to delete unwanted databases in the object store. Databases cannot be deleted with either the PC based HPC explorer, or the explorer on the CE device itself.

CAUTION!
	DB Delete can remove databases such as your contacts database, your appointments database and your tasks databse. This means that you could permanently delete information that may be important to you. Once you have confirmed the deletion, you cannot recover this data. IT IS NOT TRANSFERED TO THE RECYCLE BIN - THERE IS NO UNDO FACILITY. It is therefore advised that you backup your HPC with either your PC based HPC Explorer, or to a storage device, such as a Compact Flash card, before using DB Delete for Windows(r) CE.

Pre Release Information
	As this is a pre release version, it is strongly advised that you back your HPC up before running DB Delete for Windows(r) CE. Sunplan Ltd. take no responsibility for any data lost due to the use of this program.

Running DB Delete

Once DB Delete has been installed, double tap its icon to start it running. DB Delete may take a few seconds to start up if there are many databses in the object store. Once DB Delete has initialised, a dialog will appear.

	DB Delete shows all the databases in the Windows(r) CE object store, and alows you to select any database to be deleted. If the Delete Database button is pressed without a database selected, a warning dialog will appear.

	When a database is selected, and the Delete Database button is pressed, a warning dialog is displayed to confirm if you really want to delete this database. Remember that there is no undo facility, databases are not transfered to the recycle bin, and you can very easily delete data that may be of vital imortance to you. It is recommended that before using DB Delete you perform a full backup of your HPC, either using the PC based HPC explorer, or to a storage card, such as a compact flash device. Sunplan is not responsible for any data lost due to the use of DB Delete for Windows(r) CE.


UnInstallation
	
	To remove DB Delete from you system, simply delete the DBDelete.exe file from your HPC. If you installed MFCWCE.DLL, and are sure no other aplications are using it, then you can delete this from your windows directory on your HPC.
