How to Delete Phantom Cancel Payment

LWS

When Quicken and Chase were not communicating, I entered a number of duplicate online bill payments because the payments were not appearing in the Online Window. I was able to delete all duplicate transactions - but I do not recall at this time if I deleted them from Quicken or at the Chase payment site or both.
Now, when I am exiting a file I get a dialogue box
"You have cancel instructions to send. You must send them now or Quicken will remove them from the instructions to send list."
with choices of Send / Remove Instructions / cancel / help
On numerous occasions, I have clicked on remove instructions and/or send but nothing seems to remove the issue.
After clicking on "remove" I get a dialogue box that says "You have online payments to send do you want to send them before closing the file"
There are no cancel instructions or open payments visible in the online payment screen.
Using Quicken for Windows Premier - Ver R28.28 Build 27.1.28.28
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

There is no visible payment or instruction to delete.

Hello @LWS

Thank you for taking the response although I apologize that the previous steps did not help to resolve this error.

If you haven't done so already, may I ask that please validate the file?

File menu > File Operations > Validate & Repair option.

In the Validate File window that opens, click the top box to "validate file" and then click OK.

When the validation completes, a data log will open in Notepad, please let us know if any errors or issues are found/repaired, and when ready close and re-open Quicken.

Thank you,

    Thanks for the advice.

A direct reply was rejected.


    When it finished validating it said something like "an unknown error prevented opening the file" - I think meaning the log file. The log file then opened and read as follows:


[Sat Sep 19 11:57:56 2020]

"C:\Users\LWS\Documents\Quicken\Personal"

QDF:
Validating your data.
Quicken repaired ING Savings account.  No action required.
Quicken repaired Coop-Capital-12-A-B account.  No action required.


QEL:
No read errors.

QEL:
Found 2 downloaded transactions in JT-SUPER that matched cleared transactions. No action is necessary.
Found 2 downloaded transactions that had already been entered. No action is necessary.
Removed 27 qel records for payments not in register
Validation has completed.



    I then clicked on File (before closing and reopening) and got a message that the File could not be opened as it was in use by another application such as a cloud storage backup. Please close . . . .


    I then closed Quicken and reopened it and got a similar message.


    I then restarted the computer


    The File that was validated still will not open with the same message.


    The Files that were not validated  can be opened fine.

So the file that was having the problem cannot be opened.

    Thanks in advance for you additional assistance.

Clicking on the file to find where it was located got a dialogue box about the file being created in Quicken 2004 and saying to reinstall 2004 and then upgrade - or some such.
The file is located in Documents/Quicken.
Clicking on the file now gets a dialogue box that says it cannot be opened because it is in use by another application

Again - a direct response to your email bounces.

Hello @LWS

Thank you for the response, at this time you may not respond to a Community post via email. You will need to visit the Community and comment on the post directly.

We are waiting for an update to update the messaging on the email to not direct users that they may respond via email. I apologize for the confusion.

What is the file extension on the file that you are attempting to open?

Have you ever used the Quicken 2004 program? 

Please let me know!

The file seems to be a qdf file. In looking at the folder there are also SyncLog.dat snf OFXLOG.dat files


I did use 2004 ages ago and have upgraded through at least 4-5 newer versions since then, including at least 2014 and 2016.

CORRECTION
What the dialogue box said was basically
Currently using Quicken 2019
File was last used with Quicken Unknown
To convert and open the file
1) Download Quicken 2004
2) Open file with Q2004
3) Reinstall Quicken 2019
4) Open file in Quicken 2019

As I have other files which are fine, will the following work:
Download Q2004
Open the qdf file currently in DocumentsQuicken in Q2004
replace the file in Documents Quicken with the 2004 qdf file
open the file in Q2019

Thanks in advance

LWS

I copied the QDF file I had from the backup to the Document\Quicken Folder and the File now opens fine. I still have the phantom cancel payment issue.

What if anything do I do with the files in Document\Quicken named:
personal_SyncLog.dat
PersonalOFXLOG.DAT
Personal_0.QDF
and the Personal.pdf that I replaced with the backup file

Thanks for your assistance.
