How do I correct an error Quicken made in my Fidelity Brokerage account

Today when I compared the cash balance for my Fidelity Brokerage account in Fidelity with that downloaded by Quicken Classic Mac, I found the Quicken amount was $5000 less than the Fidelity account. When I dug back into my Quicken and Fidelity accounts, I found the error came on Nov. 24, 2022, when I transferred that sum from a bank account into Fidelity, and Quicken both added and subtracted that sum from my Fidelity account, so there was no net increase, leaving the Quicken balance $5000 too low. This happened close to the time I was changing the handling of the cash balance from Cash to a Treasure Money Market fund. I'm showing this in a screen shot, which shows the downloaded transaction.

It looks like you're tracking the core position in your account as a cash balance and not as shares in a MMF (that's what I do also). In that case, there should be just the transfer in of $5000 with no further activity, and the Buy transaction should be deleted.

That did it. Thanks.
