Remove transactions that track deleted entries.
If the application is set up to track the changes a user makes to fields, then you will need to run Delete Tracking Information to remove the older entries to the tracking change log. It's best to back up each database before deleting the tracking change log.
Important! This routine can be set up to delete orphan records. An orphan record is a record that is not tied to an existing record.
