Why is Quicken Mobile showing a security that I don't own?

KJS

I regularly sync Quicken Mobile and Quicken Classic on my desktop. Quicken Mobile shows 900 shares of a mutual fund in one of my investment accounts that I don't own. Quicken Classic on my desktop is correct. I have reset my Cloud data set and resynced multiple times. I have deleted my old, no-longer-used cloud data files. The problem persists. What do I do?

Hello @KJS,

Thank you for sharing your experience. Definitely odd to have phantom shares showing in the mobile app.

Based on what you said, it sounds like you have done most of the troubleshooting steps already. Great job!

At this point, I suggest you try manually resetting your cloud data by creating a test file and deleting your cloud account from that test file. After that, you would attempt to resync your main data file, which should then create a new cloud account (this does not affect your data saved within that data file).

First, please proceed to save a backup (just in case). From there, create a new data file (click here to view instructions, and review the section titled: "Creating a new file"). Once the new file opens, follow the steps below to remove your main data file's cloud account.

1. Go to Edit.
2. Select Preferences.
3. Click on Quicken ID & Cloud Accounts.
4. Click Cloud accounts associated with this Quicken ID (#) (this is not a button; it is written in blue underneath the "Edit dataset name" button).
5. Select the Cloud Account Name used for your main data file and click Delete.
6. Type Yes and click Delete.
   

After that, switch back to your main data file (click here to view instructions, scroll down and review the section titled: "How to alternate between multiple files"). 

Once your main file opens, resync your data by navigating to the Mobile & Web tab and clicking on the blue Get Started button, and then the blue Sync Now button, and see whether or not the errors you were receiving persist. You can then also delete the new file you previously created, as well as its cloud account.

I hope this helps!

I followed the steps you advised but the phantom mutual fund shares are still showing up in my Quicken Mobile app.
