1. After using QCleanUI and reinstalling the Quicken subscription program, can I delete the re-named folders in
C:\Program Data,
C:\Program Files[x86], and
C:\User folders?
2. I save Q data files with a date. Do I need to keep all these files or just the last one saved? Is there some rule on how and when to eliminate Q Data file clutter? C:\Program Data,
C:\Program Files[x86], and
C:\User folders?

- You may use Windows File Explorer to delete the Quicken files you no longer want to keep.

Just following along -Does QCleanUI rename these sub-folders as it performs a "cleanup" ?Next - Are you using the Quicken backup feature ...... Edit --> Preferences --> Backup -->if so, the files from the auto-backup will have a datestamp in the filename,
and the manual backups can have a datestamp if [x] checked

The rename of the folders is performed manually as documented: https://www.quicken.com/support/using-qcleanui-uninstall-quickenPs56k2 said:Just following along -Does QCleanUI rename these sub-folders as it performs a "cleanup" ?Next - Are you using the Quicken backup feature ......

We use both the manual and the automatic backup feature. We save manual backups frequently (Ctrl + B) to provide the generic undo functionality Quicken lacks.0
