Maintaining your files
To clear a file (remove its contents):
1. When the file you want to clear is onscreen, press
clear file
. A
prompt appears.
2. Press
Y
to clear the file; press
N
to return to the file.
Tip!
You can also clear a file from the File Selector by scrolling to
the file you want to clear and pressing
clear file
.
Note:
You can clear files only when your Neo is not connected to
your computer. If your device is connected to your computer,
pressing
clear file
has no effect.
Clearing all files from the workspaces
You can clear all files in the workspaces simultaneously, which can
be useful if multiple users have entered information on Neo. You can
clear files only from the workspaces (they can be either named or
unnamed files); if you have named files that
aren’t in workspaces,
their contents are not affected.
