Bill and Income Reminders - how to delete?Closed

I have over 200 reminders that were introduced to my Quicken Starter software when I installed the program. How can I delete all of these reminders at one time rather than deleting them one at a time? Deleting one Reminder takes about 2 minutes, with over 200 reminders the deletion process will take over 8 hours.

    There is no global delete option. You can only delete one by one, but the real question is why it takes 2 minutes to delete a reminder. This is not normal as it should be near instantaneous. You may want to backup your file and run a file validate to ensure data integrity.

    I would suggest breaking this task down into a number of "maintenance sessions". Perhaps 20 minutes of deletes at a time and then quit for the day, then try again the next day or so. Eventually, the response time should get much better.

    "Over 200 reminders"? How many? 200, 2000, 20000, more?
    A few years ago, a "run away reminder" bug tended to create thousands of reminders in the data file, until Quicken ran out of file space and crashed.
    The only remedy then was to restore the Quicken data file from a backup taken prior the problem occurring. That would be my suggestion to solve your problem.
    When installing Q 2019 Starter Edition, were you downgrading from an older version of Quicken Deluxe (or higher edition level)? If so, what older Quicken version?
