01
Before you start
If only the card name changed, edit it. Deleting an account affects linked transactions. It is not a way to hide an old card while keeping all of its tracking unchanged.
02
What to do
- Open Accounts and find the entry.
- To rename it, choose edit, change the name and save.
- Before deleting, review transactions and linked plans. Export any history you need on the website.
- Choose delete and read the confirmation.
- Check the account name again. Confirm only if you intend to remove it from your records.
03
If something goes wrong
- Do not delete an account to fix its balance; use balance adjustment.
- If deletion is blocked, read the error and check linked goals or plans.
- Cancelling the confirmation leaves the account in place.
What you should see
Renaming keeps the same account under a new name. Deletion can remove its history from the relevant reports.
