<p>We are sorry to hear about the problem you have encountered.</p>
<p>The software will not allow you to remove a security that is in use, as per the warning message on your screen.</p>
<p>To delete a security you would have to delete or amend any transaction that uses that security, once all transactions have been removed/changed, remove that security from the Investment Account, then finally use the menu item <strong>Tools -> Securities</strong> to remove the security.</p>
<p>I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have further questions or need any assistance.</p>

It is not a security. It is not being used anywhere that I can find. Maybe my question should be how do I find where a security is being used?</p>
<p>derekkent23 -- thanks. I had already assume the error msg had a typo.</p>
<p>I am unable to find, "any transaction that uses that security" using all the search tools. So how do I find them??</p></div>Mike V.tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485328412020-08-09T12:30:08Z2020-08-09T12:48:07ZDeleting Security<div><p>I renamed it to emphasize that it is a trash item. Still cannot find any transaction that refers too it or uses it.</p></div>Mike V.tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485328412020-08-09T13:02:16Z2020-08-09T13:02:16ZDeleting Security<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.<br>
Hi Mike</p>
<p>Have you removed A-Trash from each of you Investment Accounts?</p>
<p>Check as follows:</p>
<p>In turn highlight each investment Account in the Side Bar, list on left.<br>
Then in the Security Detail tab click REMOVE SECURITY button and use the dropdown to select if listed A-Trash. Then OK – YES to delete the Security.</p>
<p>You must do this for each investment Account.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485328412020-08-09T13:54:44Z2020-08-09T13:54:44ZDeleting Security<div><p>derekkent23 - thank you. That was what was needed. I discovered which investment account by looking at the definition of the Portfolio report.</p></div>Mike V.
