A list is formulated of any user activity, and any associated record updates that have occurred in the last seven years. 

To complete the process, click on Purge these records.

A record can remain dormant for 6 years and a small update will restart the 7-year clock.
The activity list is used to determine what to exclude from a purge. The script then purges any data that is not on the activity list.
