Delete Members Vs Contributions

[dadcowell]

I'd like to delete all of our church members who have not given since say 1/1/2012. Is there a way to do this all at once or do I need to delete them one at a time? (I have already saved a back-up copy to disc for our archives).

FWIW ... you need to retain information on contributions for at least 4 years, so if they gave in 2010 & 2011 you need to be able to have ready access, so if you need to you'll have to swap out your database for the backup. Also, if you move from a prior version say v10.4 to 11.5, you'd have to keep a copy of that version around.

That said, there isn't a 'mass delete' function for membership.

Exactly why are you cleaning up like this? Could you just not move them to a inactive member status, and move the envelope number to what I call an archive range of 4000??

Has there been any update on archiving membership since 2013?
