How to remove obsolete File or Backup Path entries from Quicken Menus

New with Quicken Subscription (2018+):
When selecting a file name from the bottom of the File Menu and the file cannot
be found, you will get prompted for an action or if you want to remove the name
from the file list.

All Quicken versions:
You can eliminate incorrect or unused Quicken data file names or Backup Path names if you so desire.

But please be very, very careful when doing it and retain a "before image" backup copy of the .INI file you are about to edit.

Close Quicken.

Edit with Notepad or any other ASCII text editor the file
"C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Quicken\config\QUSER.INI"
or
"C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Intuit\Quicken\config\QUSER.INI" for older Quicken versions.
Replace "username" in the path with your Windows account name.

In this file you will find lines looking similar to these:

[RecentFiles]

1=C:\Users\username\Documents\Quicken\test

2=C:\Users\username\Documents\Quicken\UKR

3=C:\Users\username\Documents\Quicken\UKR2005-2006

4=C:\Users\username\Documents\Quicken\Ukr2004

[RecentBackupPaths]

BackupPath5=

BackupPath4=I:\Quicken Backup\

BackupPath3=E:\Quicken Backup\

BackupPath2=J:\Quicken Backup\

BackupPath1=H:\Quicken Backup\

Do NOT delete any lines from this file!

Just blank out the name portion after the '=' (equal sign).

[Recent Files]
refers to your current "1=..." Quicken data file and 3 previously used ones. The limit is 4 files.

Do not blank out "1=..." or Quicken will not know which file to start with.

[RecentBackupPaths]
refers to your Manual Backup file paths, "BackupPath1=..." being the most recently used path name. The limit is 5 paths.

Save the changed file.

Start Quicken.

Review the results in the File menu for recent data files and/or the Manual Backup menu for Backup paths.
