Delete programs or directories from time to time that you are no longer using to maintain a
clearer overview of your data management. Back up the data beforehand, if necessary, on
an external data medium (e.g. USB FlashDrive) or on a network drive.
Please note that when you delete a directory, all programs, tool data and zero point data and
subdirectories that this directory contains are deleted.
