Import Data from Q2007 Again

Steve29

I converted my Quicken 2007 data today, but had some problems. In Q2007 had identified some bond mutual funds as "Bonds". In Q2007 this doesn't change how things are calculated, but in Quicken 2019 it does -- dividing the number of shares by 100. (I ended up with 1/100th of the number of shares that I should have.) I tried changing the security type in Q2019, but this didn't correct the total number of shares. 

So I believe I need to make the change in Q2007 and import again. How do I clear out the entire file, or create a new empty file, and start the import process again?

Many thanks to anybody who can shed any light.

@Steve29 In you have Quicken 2019 running, go to File > New and it will take you to the Getting Started page where you can choose to start from your Quicken 2007 file again. If you are afraid of confusing multiple files, quit Quicken 2019, delete your Quicken data file*, then launch Quicken 2019, and it will go directly to the Getting started page since it has no existing data file to open.

*If you haven't moved it, the default location of your Quicken 2019 data file is in your user Library folder, which you can get to in the Finder by holding the Option key and selecting Library from the Go menu. Then navigate to Application Support > Quicken > Documents.

Thanks, Jacobs. I figured that out, and it's pretty much what I did. I haven't sorted everything out yet, but that certainly helped a lot.
