There are some old 'categories' that I'd like to delete when I am entering transactions in register

Any ways to remove old categories/sub-categories? I have a number of them when entering a transaction in a register.

You can open the Category window by pressing Shift-Command-C (it's also available from the Window menu). Quicken will warn you if there are any transactions using that category. There's also an option at the bottom of the Category window to have it only show unused categories which you may find useful.

This question was posted in a Mac thread ... and you've provided a Win response ... which doesn't help the OP.

It's not a Win response, it's a Mac response (I've been using Quicken for Mac for over 20 years now). The Command key is the one with the cloverleaf symbol on it. Some Mac keyboards (including the one on my MacBook Pro) have both the cloverleaf symbol and Command printed on that key. AFAIK, it's common to refer to that as the Command key rather than try to find a way to type a cloverleaf symbol.

I think most Mac users will understand what I meant.

I believe the equivalent keyboard shortcut on Windows is Shift-Ctrl-C.

Good grief this forum software is annoying. Why provide an edit option if you're just going to punish people for using it by throwing their posts into moderation?

My previous reply is probably AWOL until sometime tomorrow. The short version is you've confused Shift-Command-C on the Mac with Shift-Control-C on Windows. The reply I gave is appropriate for the Mac.

Thanks to Jon I was able to fix my problem. While his reply mentioned a Windows OS it worked just fine on my Mac OS
