Sage Timeslips

Hello, Long story short I am purging closed clients and it's going unbelievably slowly. I am trying to purge the database from everything from our closed clients. When I run the purge, I select "Closed" clients and nothing else, no other filters…

When I set a client/matter as Closed and then use the Purge tool, it certainly seems like the client/matter is gone, but is it still in the database, just marked as something else. OR does it get completely removed from the database? Thanks

It appears to me that the size of my Timeslips backup file remains the same after purging several years of slips, clients and other items. I expected the backup file size to be reduced after purging items from the database. Is my expectation incorrect…
