New Category I didn't create has appeared

Mary Ann Edson-Plumb

I'm on Quicken Premier for Windows, R61.17 Build 27.1.61.17

Went to pull a report and got the message that new categories had been created and did I want to add them to the report. When I viewed the Category name, it was odd. ACCT_118a0. Ran a report to find the associated transaction, and there's nothing. I used all dates, all accounts including hidden. No transaction is associated with this category. How would this have gotten created? Is there any downside to just deleting it?

Those sorts of notations that start with ACCT seem to be associated with temporary Accounts that Quicken creates when downloading information and should be removed by the program at some point. If you've accepted all transactions that came with the latest download and everything otherwise looks to be good in your file, I'd think that deleting them would not be a problem. You might want to run a file Validate & Repair here.
