How to turn off the delete confirmation popup?

today32

I delete a LOT of downloaded transactions and in my previous version (2019), I had it immediately delete them without showing the confirmation popup. I have scoured the Preferences menu in Quicken 2020, but can't find it at all. Where can I turn it off?

Hello @today32

Thank you for reaching out on the community and telling us about your issue. I was taking a look to see what I could find and did find the setting you were looking for I believe. 

With the circled notification preference off you're able to delete non reconciled transactions without having to confirm it each time. If the transactions are reconciled it will still ask you to confirm the deletion but that should work since you're likely to reconcile after deleting transactions. 

Please let us know if this helps resolve the issue for you.

Thanks,

Have you tried "Alerts & Messages" > "Warnings" > "Reset Quicken Warnings"?

Though I am curious as to why you're commonly having to delete a LOT of downloaded transactions.  What's causing that?

Yes, I tried that and it didn't work. I believe this setting only pertains to the popup messages that include the checkbox in the lower left-hand corner that says something like "Never Show This Again".

I'm guessing that the ability to turn off the delete confirmation popup was a feature in an older version of Quicken, and then they removed it at some point along the way. Maybe it was a setting that survived as a Windows Registry Key over time, and then got cleared out when I installed the newest version. So if anyone knows exactly what registry key it is, that would be helpful.

Thanks!
