Deleting an account
jomist
I have a investment account that is so fouled up from mishandled downloads that a simple fix might be to delete the account and reintroduce it to quicken via a new download. It is OK if some historical data is lost. can this be done without affecting any other accounts?

Hi

Yes, you can delete one account in Quicken without affecting other accounts. However, as always, make sure that you have a good backup file before you do the deletion, just in case.

If you delete an account that has/had transfers from other accounts, the category of the transaction in the remaining account will be changed to either [Unspecified Account] or [Deleted Account] to indicate that it was a transfer to begin with and the other half no longer exists and this half of the transfer was kept.
