can I delete a damaged account and then install it from Schwab

Question

After the last release install, one of my Schwab accounts is missing all cost basis info.  
 Should I uninstall the release or delete the account and then add it back through Schwab?

Still no cost basis info.  Schwab advisor said it is a Quicken problem.  Guess I need to have a Chat with Quicken.  Just haven't had the time.  thanks for your suggestion

@ekbm90 - have you tried doing a validate or super validate?  Click on File->Validate and Repair File.  To do a super validate hold down Ctrl+Shift when you click on Validate and Repair File.  I would try this before recreating the account.

Checkmark "Validate file".  There is an additional option to "rebuild investing lots".  I would also check your price history to make sure it hasn't been corrupted.  There is also an option to fix price history.

Please make a backup before doing a validate or making any major changes to your data file.  And also, please take note of the important messages for each of the validate options.

Thank you.  I tried this but the cost basis info was still missing in the restored file.  Shouldn't I be able to delete this account and then reinstall it from my brokerage account?
