    I have the following entry in my Bill & Reminders list. I cannot delete / edit / ignore / enter it. How do I get rid of it?

    Is that the only Status = Done entry or are there a gazillion other ones, too?

    Usually, running BOTH Validate and Supervalidate to attempt to repair your Quicken data file gets rid of them or, at least, makes them deletable one at a time. To do so, use the Delete option in the Menu bar of the Tools / Manage Bill and Income Reminders view.

    Try right-clicking the Reminder to see if you get the option to Delete. If you do, hold down CTRL while clicking Delete.

    If that doesn't help; I suggest trying Validate (then Super Validate if Validate does not help). Try editing/deleting the Reminder after each.
    To Validate:  File > Validate and Repair File > Validate
    To SuperValidate:  File > (hold down SHIFT+CONTROL) Validate and Repair File > Super validate file

    Validate didn't work but Super Validate did.
