Quicken 2011: Delete multiple bills at once?

For some reason after my upgrade woe (see other post) I have hundreds of ordinary transactions coming in as recurring bills. Is there any way of deleting them en masse, or am I really left clicking each bill one by tedious one?

Cheers, Ian

I'm having trouble picturing what this means. Can you explain in more detail?

Old transactions, from 2001 onwards, all claiming that they are bills and part of a recurring series. It's all phantom and just part of the conversion from Quicken 2002->Money 2004->Money 2007->Quicken 2011. It has picked up my real bills too, and with less than a handful exceptions all is fine there - bills with variable accounts based on last 3 transactions haven't looked at past transactions and picked up an amount yet, they'll be fine after their first 'real' occurrence.

It's the phantom ones I'd like to delete in one go - at the moment I'm going to the bills tab, clicking each bill, going to 'Edit->This and all future reminders', then hit delete, then confirm. That's a laborious process when you have to get through a few hundred of them.

Cheers, Ian

I don't recall any version of Quicken doing that; so I'm guessing it was Money that introduced the problem.

There is no way to delete multiple scheduled transactions at one time.

The best I can suggest is that instead of clicking the Edit button on the selected scheduled transaction, you click the Delete choice in the Bill & Income Reminders menu.
