Is there a way to archive past transactions for ALL accounts at once?

Question

How do I archive all of my accounts (checking, savings, CDs) into one archived file?  I do not want to archive each checking, savings or CD separately.  Can they all be archived together and if so, can you give me explicit instructions??  I am on Quicken Starter Edition for 2021.  Thanks.

The Year End Archive procedure above applies to all accounts within your Quicken data file.

UKR:  I see where there is a way to create a yearend file for an individual account, such as a checking account.  But how can I do all of the accounts at once?  I have quite a number of accounts, such as checking and different savings accounts.  Do I have to do each one individually or is there a way to put all the accounts into an archive file at once?

I tried creating a year end archive. I peared down my years of transaction by deleting 2017 and 18.  When the new file opened those years were still there. Not sure how to get rid of old years of data that will not be needed.
