# Clean up EDI journals manually

In EDI Studio, you can use the staging concept to validate data in an intermediate area before it is further processed.

Several predefined staging journals are available for EDI Studio:

- **EDI purchase journal**
- **EDI purchase arrival journal**
- **EDI sales journal**
- **EDI Delfor journal**
- **EDI inventory journal**
- **EDI transfer journal**

To prevent the database from containing too much data, you can clean up the EDI staging journals manually.

### Steps

1. Open the desired **Delete EDI journal page**.

In the steps, as an example, the **Delete EDI sales journal** page is opened.

Go to **EDI** > **Periodic** > **EDI journal clean-up** > **Delete EDI sales journal**.
2. In the list, find and select the desired journals.
3. Click **Delete**.
4. On the message, click **Yes**.
5. Close the page.
