1. In an intelligent peripheral having a storage and a repository, the storage including entries, an entry being an initialized entry including entry information and initialized information, or the entry being an uninitialized entry including the entry information, a method to obtain capacity in the storage for additional entries, comprising the steps of: A. developing an uninitialized list including only uninitialized entries from the entries included in the storage of the intelligent peripheral; B. sending the entry information for each of the uninitialized entries in the uninitialized list from the storage to the repository of the intelligent peripheral; and C. deleting the each of the uninitialized entries in the uninitialized list from the storage, whereby the capacity is obtained in the storage for the additional entries as a result of the deletion from the storage of the each of the uninitialized entries in the uninitialized list without losing the entry information for the each of the uninitialized entries in the uninitialized list.
