As you probably know, the general rule is that you can only delete a stock item if it has no transaction history for at least two financial years. Even then, you might still not be able to delete certain items, as those items might be linked to document history (e.g. invoices, credit notes, orders, etc), which Pastel, by default, keeps indefinitely.
In that case, I would suggest that you purge document history prior to the beginning of last financial year, by using the Change...Delete History/Clear Files menu option, then select Delete/Consolidate Transactions. After doing this, you will find that you will be able to delete all the stock items that have not had any activity for the current and prior financial year.
I will email your quote shortly.
