When you "unlink" delete a data file from an Quicken ID, your data is no longer synced between your desktop data file and the mobile devices that use the same Quicken ID. Unlinking does not delete your Quicken ID, nor does it delete any of your data stored in the Quicken Cloud.
Why you might want to do this:
- You can't remember the password for your Quicken ID, and you can't reset your password because you don't have access to the email account that you're using.
- You want to use your Quicken ID with a different data file.
Here's how:
- Choose Edit menu > Preferences.
- In the left pane, select Quicken ID , Sync & AlertsCloud Accounts.
- In the right pane, under Mobile & Alerts, click Unlink your Cloud Data Cloud Account Details, click Cloud accounts associated with this Quicken ID.
- In the Unlink your Cloud DataAccount dialog, type select the account you want to delete.
- Type yes, and then click Unlink click Delete to confirm the action.
Note
If you would rather delete all your data on the Quicken cloud and start over, delete your cloud data instead.
