# Purge Session Data

This option will delete context data from the system (SessionContext and SessionTempTable tables), as of a specified cutoff date (default is two days prior). A warning is displayed if a cutoff date of less than two days prior is entered.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** *The cutoff date should not be entered for the system date while graphical sessions are active.*
{% endhint %}

#### To purge session data:

* Select Purge Session Data from the System menu to display the Session Context Purge screen.
