How to zero-out Securities Value?

I have an investment account where I sold all shares, but Quicken still shows a Securities Values. I don't want to delete the account because I want to keep the historic record. Is there a place where I can go and just delete whatever is creating that balance? There are any number of things I might have done wrong over the years. All I want to do is zero out the Securities Value.

@JADavey,
And just a followup - if there were more than one "security" involved (because you question didn't indicate how many different securities may have been in the account) - you need to perform the above step for each security.

Yes, it is likely that fractional shares in the account are causing this problem. In fact, Quicken made a recent change extending to - 6 decimal places - the shares field. To fix this problem, all you need to do is to go to the most recent transaction - where you sold all the remaining shares in the account and "edit" it by checking the box labeled "Sell all shares in this account". That will close out that position and fix your problem.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for your suggestions. My apologies for talking to myself in this thread.
You had quite a conversation going on there for a bit!!! And it looks like that helped you work through those additional issues, which is great!
Sorry I didn't see those additional messages last night, as I had already logged off. But let me know if anything else pops up.
