Deleting transactions and reimporting a transaction file?

brucehobbs

After importing a transaction file I discovered that many transactions had the wrong payee because of an overly broad renaming rule. I've deleted the rule. Is it possible to simply delete all the imported transactions and reimport the transaction file?

You can do this if you restore a backup file from before when the transactions in question were imported.  If you try to do it with your file after the transactions were imported, Quicken will "remember" that those transactions were previously imported and will prevent them from be added, again, to the register.

Thank you both for your quick replies on a weekend! In the future I'll create a backup prior to manually importing data. I was already aware of the batch change capability. In this case there weren't many transactions with the same payee, but I did use that feature when I could.
