Stock Splits

A recent update made some 18 - 20 year old securities show up once again in my "Holdings" folder. I had originally posted stock splits where the split was not mathematically an even number and now after this Quicken upgrade I have an odd portion of shares showing as an existing holding after I sold it 20 years ago. It shows a balance of 0.000009 shares as one example. I cannot delete it. I cannot sell it. I have 6 of these entries that have just popped up.
If I go back to the original stock split transaction and put in a figure with 8 to 11 digits after the decimal I can zero the quantity of existing shares but the listing remains in my Holdings folder.
They've been gone for 20 years and now all of a sudden they reappear. I spent 3 hours with tech support the other day and came away without an answer.
To me it's a glitch in the update but they don't address that.

Sorry to hear that you are having these issues, and if I had been on with tech support for 3 hours without an answer, I would be very frustrated.
I would suspect that you've already tried this - but, just in case, did you try the "Sell - Sell all securities in this account" after entering the security name? I would think that would clear out the fractional shares without any adverse effects.
