**EDIT: When Version 5 releases this will no longer be an issue therefore I am marking it as resolved.** So there is currently not a delete button to delete a custom report, you have to edit the report and clear out any data you entered and then save it… I found 1 bug and it is now crashing every time I try to open the module. I cleared a report out to delete it, I had the Append to End of Day report set at 100… I deleted the zeros but accidentally left the 1 and now Samba crashes every time I try to load the reports. I cannot view any of them. I would suggest a delete report button and maybe separate the add report and put both buttons in plain view. Also it crashing samba because it finds a 1 in the Append to End of Day option should probably be looked at. ``` ----------------------------- [General Info] Application: SambaPOS Version: 4.1.50-TEST Region: en DB: SQ Machine: **** User: **** Date: 8/22/2014 Time: 5:30 PM User Explanation: **** said "" ----------------------------- [Exception Info 1] Top-level Exception Type: System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException Message: 'Could not register named object.

Do you mean clear the transactions table? There is either the database tools module which has defult task of clear transactions or you can use an sql script that’s posted elsewhere on forum. ---

Hello @Ali, Just to clarify you made some reports and now you want to delete the entire report? You don’t want to just clear the data you want to delete the entire thing? Maybe you missed it when I said: > [@Jesse](#): > > you have to edit the report and clear out any data you entered and then save it. If all you want is to clear the sales and not delete the entire report then I am afraid you misunderstood this thread and @JTRTech is correct you just need to clear transaction data. ---

Search for database tools module, that have a clear transactions script. Or there is an sql script if your comfortable using sql management tools. ---

Listen to what I’m saying mate 😄 The report calls data from the sales/transactions table in the database. To clear this table do what I said and look at database tools module. It’s a download in the samba market. It will make samba ‘fresh’ without clearing your settings - rules etc. There is a script for direct use in sql but from yours posts I imagine you would be better off with the tools module. ---

We have told you already. You have to clear transaction data. You cant just clear a report… This means it will clear all transactions. Next time if you want to run test transactions on a production system purchase the Database Tools Module and use Training Mode so it wont affect your live system. ---

does he mean he wants to delete the actual report or the data in the report? With him circling the report name ive read it as he wants to remove that particular report? ---

He is wanting to delete only the test transactions he ran. You cant delete specific transactions. PS. it is possible if you know SQL and know what rows and which tables to clear… I will not explain how to do this because like I said you either know how or you dont its not something you should do if you dont. ---

He said he has tested with sales and need to delete the sales from what I’ve read. From terminology and vaigeness database tools module if the only way I would suggest lol 🙂 ---

> [@Jesse](#): > > Database Tools Module and use Training Mode so it wont affect your live system. But don’t forget not to setup/make rules etc in training mode as will be cleared when turned off LOL (At least I have heard so, didn’t make that mistake myself hehe) ---

The settings and data aren’t stored in samba itself, it’s in the database. The samba software is an interface for the database. Just use the database tools module to clear the transaction data and all your settings will remain but the test sales will be cleared. ---
