When I follow the directions below and go into an employee who was terminated last year and select Delete I get the following message.
“You cannot delete and employee record if the employee has existing, payroll history”
I want to remove the employee from this year’s payroll. Do I need to do it through DFDM? If so what data files do I need to remove the employee from?

How to delete employee records with no activity
Resolution
Change the employee's status to "Terminated" and then delete the record.
Note: Employee records can be deleted only if the employee has no Payroll data for the current year. Even though the record for a terminated employee is "locked" from data entry, it remains on file until the year-end processing is performed and a W-2 form is printed for the employee.
1. Open Payroll, Main, Employee Maintenance, and select the employee record.
2. Click the Change Status button.
3. Select Terminated from the Employee Status drop-down box.
4. Click Delete button.
