Reset Folder to Zero
This function is used to reset the folder transactions to zero; after start-up in test mode and a recovery of the folder's permanent data (chart of accounts, customers, products, etc.), it may be useful to purge the database of the transactions created in the test phase, just before the import of the actual transactions and the operational start-up of a folder
Warning ! This function is dangerous and irreversible: it can lead to the loss of all the transaction data in a folder. Therefore it should be used only with extreme care, and only after having carried out a backup, in order to recover the data should it be necessary!
