If you want to clean your database from old and no longer used items, use the button "clean database".
-Use the tab "Online update" to update your database. Check first the available OpenAIP data by clicking "Check for Updates". At the second step, click "Updata database" to download and install the previously selected data. Wait until the import has finished, and restart the application to load the updated data.
