Overview
Deleting an account (checking, savings, etc.) permanently removes that account, and all the transactions within it, from your Quicken data file.Â
If you'd like to maintain a record of the transactions without having the account show on your account list, you can hide or close the account instead.
To delete an account
- Before you begin, create a backup of your file.
-
After backing up, click on Tools on the top menu bar, then choose Account List (or hold down Ctrl+A on your keyboard).
-
Select the account you want to delete and click Edit.
-
In the Account Details window, click Delete Account.
-
To delete the account, you must type YES in the Delete Account window, and then click OK.
What if I accidentally deleted an account?
The data can only be recovered by restoring a backup.
