. They have the same name as the PAF database but end with the suffixes .paa, .par, .pam, .pal, and .pax. What are these files, and can I delete them?
• PAL. The .pal file is a log that keeps track of changes made to your database. To have PAF create a .pal file, go into Preferences, turn on Log Changes. You can delete this file if you do not need the information in it. If you do not want PAF to create this file, turn off Log Changes. • PAM. The .pam file is a temporary match/merge file. You can delete it when you finish the match/merge. • PAA and PAX. The .paa and .pax are temporary indexes made when PAF creates alphabetical lists of individuals. You can delete them, and PAF will create new ones as needed. • PAR. The .par file is the report that PAF creates when you prepare names for temple work. You can delete this file if you no longer need the report.
