Quicken has created temp accounts ACCT_4070 ACCT_4071 etc.

I just discovered seven new Property & Debt accounts holding a variety of transactions. They are labeled ACCT_4070 ACCT_4071 up to ACCT_4076
What happened. What is the best way to solve this?
I have gone back about 9 months of backups and they are still there. I missed them because you have to scroll down to see them. These hold transactions from 2012 to present. There are too many of them to simply search them out. I have run validate - no luck.
One of the accounts I moved and reclassified. There are no items in it but it still shows a balance.

This was a bug from several years ago. Transaction downloading caused these TEMP-accounts to be created under the covers, but not deleted when download processing completed.

No real accounts were deleted or damaged. You would have noticed that immediately.

The procedure I gave you (I just reread it) might be a little overkill. Just performing the Copy and Validate procedures mentioned under "Lastly," should either delete these accounts or make it possible for you to delete them without ill effects on the rest of your accounts.

How to resolve Temp or ACCT_ accounts

I already saw that. Is this the best I can do? I was hoping for some way to locate what real account was deleted or overwritten by the new temp account.
Also wanted to reach out as I am on version 2020 and this referred to 2017.
It seems odd to have had so many created.

The creation of those accounts is an indication of corruption in your Q data file.

So - Backup and then delete would be great BUT these files appear to be holding unique information that should not be deleted and is not a duplicate.

After you do the Validate and Repair (which will delete these accounts) the info in them will re-download into the correct accounts.
