How do I restore a deleted account?

Question

Grrrrr!  I had two accounts started.  One I'd just spent days adding information to, the other was my first attempt.  I mistakenly deleted the good one.  Is there any way to retrieve it and all that information?

Hopefully you have a recent backup that you can restore.

Restore your Quicken data file from a Manual or Automatic Backup taken prior to the problem first occurring, if necessary going back to older backups until you find a file that does not exhibit these symptoms.

In addition to the backup files Quicken generates, if you use your Mac's Time Machine to continually back up your Mac, you should be able to retrieve a copy of your Quicken data file from prior to your inadvertent deletion of the account. Time Machine backups give you hour-by-hour backups for the past week, so you should be able to zero in to just before the problem.
