renovations that are now finished, a food:groceries category that
we have changed to just groceries, etc). In the interests of making
the category list smaller, I would like to delete the old
categories for this year and into the future. I have archived all
my transactions at the end of each year. If I should want to open
one of the archived files to get some data, would the old
categories still be there? (I wouldn't want them deleted in the
previous year's files because I may need that data sometime - just
in this years, from now on.) And once I go back to this year's
files, would the category still be gone? (I hope that I am
clear.)</p>
<p>Does the same thing apply to tags? We use tags to keep track of
each vacation's expenses, or sometimes one aspect of a vacation's
expenses, like cost of Motorhome gas. If we eliminate the tags in
this year's files, will they still be there if we should open one
of the archives?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help<br>

<p>Archived files and current files are kept separate. It's fine to
delete categories and tags, they'll still be there in your
archives.</p>
<p>Please let me know if I can be of further assistance, and thank
you for your interest in Moneydance.</p>
