Reminders will not go away

Clinkscales6

My Bill reminders are repeating for the same date and will not go away. I have since turned off sync since this started when I turned it on. I have over 1500 reminders and have to delete them one by one, and new ones keep popping up

Hello@Clinkscales6,

Thank you for letting us know that you are experiencing an issue with your bill reminders duplicating the same data. To better understand the issue and determine how we can assist you, we have a few questions:

When did this issue first begin?
You mentioned that you turned off the sync. Did that prevent any further reminder duplication?
Does any action in your Quicken appear to trigger the reminders to duplicate?
Are the duplicates only in the Bills & Income section, or are they also posting in your account register?
Did this issue happen after you updated Quicken to the current version?

Could you also provide a screenshot showing what you are seeing? If needed, please refer to this Community FAQ for instructions on how to attach a screenshot. Alternatively, you can drag and drop screenshots into your response if you are not given the option to add attachments.

The additional information and screenshot will help us better understand the issue and determine the appropriate next steps.

Looking forward to your Response.

+1 Hello, I don't have as many reminders as the original poster but I have about 55 of each reminder.

I am not sure if it gets worse with synchronization but I do sync this file.
YES, it absolutely started after upgrading to the latest version R68.32
The duplicates happen in both the register and the bills reminders section. The majority of them are in the bill reminders section. However, some of the duplicates got posted (like 4 or 5 of them)

Please fix this

I have tried the following and it did not help:

Turned off Sync
Deleted the reminders manually (more continue to appear)
Validated the file. It indicated that it repaired 5 scheduled transactions, but there was no difference.
Super Validate the file. There was an error about scheduled tasks, and there was no change in the file.

Here is another screenshot of more Scheduled transactions (just to be clear, the screenshot from the previous post is still current - you can see by the scroll bar that these transactions are simply at the bottom of the list)

Hello @vkvrgic,

Thank you for letting us know you're seeing this issue too and for sharing those screenshots. Since you mentioned this started after the update and that validating your file didn't fix it, please restore a backup from before the issue started and confirm whether the issue is resolved in the newly restored file.

To restore a backup of your file, please follow these steps from our article on backing up and restoring Quicken files:

Restore Quicken data

Go to File > View/Restore Backups....
Browse the Local and Online Backups tabs to find the backup file you want to restore. The Quicken backup file has the extension .QDF-Backup.
Select the file to restore and click Restore Backup.
Next, you will be given the option to overwrite the file you have open or to create a copy of the backup you're restoring.
- If you Create a copy, you will need to select a location to save the copy to and you will also need to give the copy a unique file name. After naming the file and selecting the location, click Save, then click Yes to open the restored file.
- What does it mean to overwrite a file?: Restoring a backup file replaces your current data with the data stored on the backup. Be aware that you'll lose any changes you made since the backup was created. If you want to preserve the current file, you must rename the current file or the file you are restoring. We recommend avoiding overwriting files.

If you don't have a manually created backup from the correct timeframe, please follow the instructions below to restore an automatic backup.

Restore an automatic backup

Quicken creates a copy of your data every seven days and stores five of these copies in a BACKUP folder. If the backup file you've created becomes damaged, you may be able to restore an automatic backup and save yourself the need to reenter data.

First, check to see if automatic backups are turned on (this is on by default)

In Quicken, go to Edit > Preferences.
Under Setup on the left, choose Backup.
Make sure there is a check mark next to Automatic Backups.
- To the right of Automatic Backups, there is an Open/Change backup directory link that goes directly to your BACKUP folder - a good way of finding them fast!
- Choose to back up your Quicken data file after running Quicken X times (between 1 - 99).
- Choose how many backup data files you would like to save (between 1 - 99 copies).

Then, restore the automatic backup

Go to File > View/Restore Backups....
Select the file to restore.
Click Restore Backup.
Next, you will be given the option to overwrite the file you have open or to create a copy of the backup you're restoring.
- If you Create a copy, you will need to select a location to save the copy to and you will also need to give the copy a unique file name. After naming the file and selecting the location, click Save, then click Yes to open the restored file.
- What does it mean to overwrite a file?: Restoring a backup file replaces your current data with the data stored on the backup. Be aware that you'll lose any changes you made since the backup was created. If you want to preserve the current file, you must rename the current file or the file you are restoring. We recommend avoiding overwriting files.

Please let me know how it goes!

Hello,

I spent the last day trying to figure this problem out and this is what I found:

I restored the following backups until I found one before the issue started:

2026-09-10- 67 copies of my monthly Property tax payment in Bill and Income Reminders window

2026-09-04- 50 copies of my monthly Property tax payment in Bill and Income Reminders window

2026-08-16 - 49 copies of my monthly Property tax payment in Bill and Income Reminders window

2026-08-10- sync enabled, 40 copies of my monthly Property tax payment in Bill and Income Reminders window

2026-08-07 - Took a long time to open for some reason. Sync is NOT enabled. No extra Bill reminders
- Opened this file a second time as a test: still no extra bill reminders
- I ran an update "Update" to see if it make a difference - no difference.
- I opened the file a third time to test after running Update - no difference (still had the proper number of Bill reminders).
- Turned on Sync and Synchronized to Cloud - Bill reminders were doubled (i.e. the problem is starting again)

Around the beginning of August, I upgraded to the latest version of Quicken and started to use the Android Quicken App as I started to sync this file to the Cloud. So, I cannot clearly which one is causing the issue: :

1) the fault of Sync to the cloud/Android App or

2) the fault of the new version WITH sync to the cloud

After doing more research, this seems to be an ongoing bug since for at leat the last 9 month here: https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7976392/reminders-will-not-go-away

So, I have now turned off the sync function on my current file (not the 2026-08-07 file) and the Bill reminders seem to have stopped increasing in numbers. However, there are still hundreds of extra Bill reminders.

It looks like I can now use my file again but without Sync OFF.

So, The next important question is; how do I get rid of these hundreds of duplicated Bill reminders? Can you please help me?

Please do not advise me to restore to the August 7th files and add in all of the transactions.

Thank you in advance
