Quicken "companion app" deleted an account

Question

Hello Quicken:

Upon trying to update a SunTrust/Truist checking account, I get the message "XXXX account was deleted in one of the Quicken companion apps. Click "yes" if you want to delete the account from Quicken for Windows, or click "No" if you want to keep the account but not display it in the companion app..."

What does this mean and why do I get this message? I have deleted an account in another QDF, but not this one.

I am running R37.67 Build 27.1.37.67 on Windows 10. I have a couple of identical PCs and this error happens on both. I am *not* using Mobile or Web.

Thanks splasher. You are correct.

I tried to stay off the Quicken cloud but apparently, the application insists.

I bet the other data file that the account was deleted in is a copy of the first file.  The Quicken Cloud Account sees them as them same file and is trying to "sync" them to have the same accounts.Using the new Backup and Copy (File menu) routine will create a copy that is not connected to its source in any way.  
You might try making a copy of the other data file.  NOTE: The online banking features will be disabled in the copy and you will need to re-establish them if you want them enabled.
