Deleting a Data File
If you make a mistake setting up your data file, the mistake can easily be corrected. The correction in most cases is to simply delete the file and start over.
To delete your file, go to the menu bar and Click File, Click File Operations, Click Delete to open the DELETE QUICKEN FILE window. Click on your file name and Click OK. Quicken will prompt you several times to make sure that you want to delete the file. After the file is deleted, go to the menu bar and Click File, Click New to start the process again.
If you make a mistake in the beginning, don't become discouraged. It is easier to correct the mistake early in the process than to wait until you have several months of financial transactions entered and then wish you had set up your data file differently.
