You can delete the Captured Activities tracked in the Memory Aid individually, or all together.
Memtime tracks all activities on your device and displays them in your Memory Aid, under Captured Activities.
Captured Activities are locally stored in your device, and only you have access to them.
Deleting Captured Activities
You can delete Captured Activities in three different ways:
- Individual Deletion
- Bulk Deletion
- Complete Reset
Individual Deletion
Regardless of your zoom settings, Memtime tracks all activities and shows the most frequent activity for each time block. When you right-click on a block of activities, and choose the delete option, Memtime will delete the entire time block.
For example, this action will delete all activities that are grouped inside this time 20-minute time block:
Once you delete an entire time block, the data cannot be recovered. If you only want to delete a specific activity within the time block, please follow the next step in this article instead.
If you want to delete just one activity from a time block, you should first set your zoom option to 1 minute and then select the activity you want to delete.
Here's an example of how to delete a specific activity (the zoom option is set to 1 minute):
To delete multiple activities or time blocks all at once, use Ctrl + left-click to select them, then right-click and choose "Delete Selected Items".
You can also delete all activities from a single day, by clicking on this option here:
Bulk Deletion
This option will erase all Captured Activities in your Memory Aid column, regardless of the date.
Please, be careful with when following these steps since manipulating your Memtime files might lead to data loss. If you need support, you can book a call with us here.
To do a bulk deletion of all Captured Activities, please follow these steps carefully:
- Close the Memtime app completely by right-clicking the Memtime icon in the app bar and selecting "Quit Memtime".
- Navigate to the Memtime data folder. You can get to the Memtime database folder by following this path:
C:\Users\"Your user"\AppData\Local\Memtime\User
If you cannot find the AppData folder, you will have to first enable the option to view hidden items.
- The final step is to locate and open the User folder and delete the core file only.
After you start the Memtime app again, no Captured Activities will be shown.
Complete reset of your Memtime app
This option will erase all Captured Activities, Time Entries, and user settings.
If you're looking for a complete restart of your Memtime app, you can completely delete the Memtime database folder.
To do this, follow the steps of the previous section in order to locate the Memtime database folder and then delete it.
After doing so, you can restart Memtime and go through the configuration process.
To avoid irreversible data loss, we recommend making a backup copy of your data before proceeding. If you need guidance on creating a backup, you can read this article here or book a call with us. We're always happy to help!
