How do I delete Contacts and calendar from Wizard????

Hi
I am in hell with my Wizard right now.
Whenever I create a partnership and sync I get all my contacts and calendar events duplicated.
As I have over 300 contacts and 1500 calendar events I do not want to delete them one by one.
Can anyone tell me what files to delete on the wizard to remove all these items?
Also would be useful to remove all the email on the wizard.
I am hoping if I can do this and sync I won't get duplicates.
Otherwise it is a hard reset and reload all my software and changes, don't really want to do this unless I have no choice.
Cheers.

I believe you can find pim.vol in the 'MyDevice' folder and delete that (or move it memory card in case its wrong). I'm not sure about the emails though, although you can use SPB Backup and then restore only your emails later.

BRILLIANT.
Many thanks that seems to have done the trick.
I really did not want to have to hard reset you have saved me loads of time and effort.

how to delete all appointments on pocket outlook

Hi, does anyone know how to delete all the appointments on pocket outlook without doing a hardreset or by deleting the appointments one by one, i have too much appointments in there and would take years to delete them one at a time....i just want to delete all the appointments on my K-jam (wizard) but still keep the appointments on my Desktop PC.......thanks in advance.

Good question. I'd like to know too.

Anyone out there got a solution? I really need to be able to clear my appointments so I can sell my Wizard!
THanks

Sorry to bump this old topic, but I had the same problem, and I hope I can help people in the future with this:
In your desktop Outlook export everything you want to delete into a personal folder file (.pst), then delete them from Outlook. Open up your PPC's ActiveSync and in Options set that items may be replaced on the device. Then do an ActiveSync so it wipes out your ppc's chosen database. Next disconnect the ppc and import back everything from the .pst. Voila! You have erased all the contacts/calendar data on the pcc, but you still have them on the desktop.

Delete all calendar events

I am curious if there is a way to delete all the calendar events easily in wm5? I do not wish to do a hard reset. I have deleted all my events in my outlook on my computer and then have tried syncing but it still does not remove anything.

Check your AS settings as the entries should be removed. All PIM Information is in one file. You could delete that but you will also lose contacts, tasks, etc.

what are the AS settings and where can I find the PIM file?
Thanks

I was not in front of my PC when I suggested AS settings. In looking at the settings (Tools|Options|Calendar|Settings) you can only set the range to sync, not whether to delete. Assuming W5 (not sure about WM6 or WM2003) the file is pim.vol and is in the root directory of your PPC

To delete the notifications, use the tool found on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280104
Good luck!

[REQ] App to show newly added appointments

Hello,
I am looking for an applications that is able to show the newly added appointments in Outlook Mobile.
The case is: My girl and I sync both our phones calendar to Windows Vista running Outlook 2007.
I would like to have an application that can show me the newly added appointments for the last x days (user configurable).
I've checked the appointments currently in Outlook and I think that when somebody can create a program that filters on the date an appointment is modifief, the program would more or less do the trick.
I am able to do a little programming in VB but I have no clue on how to create programs for Windows Mobile and connect to Outlook.
If somebody could try and make something or give me some tips on where to start please do so.
Thanks in advance

Nobody has a clue?? Or is nobody interested in this kind of functionality?

Possible?

I don't need this myself, but thought I could make a program to do this fairly easily. However, I realized that PocketOutlook doesn't store the creation/modification date, so I don't know how to do that on the Pocket PC.
However, if you synchronize with the desktop Outlook, you can define a view in Outlook where you add the field created, and you can easily see when the items were created. Maybe that can work for you?

Deleting Contacts - Is there a quick way?

In regards to my MSN thread really.....
Is there a quick and easy way to delete a load of contacts? Talking like 300ish. All email contacts taken from my MSN account.... Are they stored in a particular file/folder I can just delete?

Quickest way is probably to do it in Outlook, then when you next synch they'll be removed from your phone.

not got outlook....
oh well, all done now.......

You can delete the pim.vol in the root. Then you should have no contacts.
