How do I delete a reminder?

Hello, ckline.

 

I have the steps to help you delete a reminder. 

 

Are you referring to the transaction reminders? If so, you'll want to go to your Recurring transactions list to delete a reminder. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon, then choose Recurring transactions.
  2. Find the reminder you want to delete. 
  3. Under the ACTION column, click the arrow icon (beside Edit).
  4. Choose Delete.

In case you need help creating another recurring transaction, open this article for the steps.

 

However, if you're trying to delete the reminders under Tasks, you can simply click the X button when hovering over them. This screenshot shows you where to find it:

Note: You might miss out on important notifications and corrections. I recommend reviewing them by clicking the View link before deleting.

I appreciated your effort in figuring out the steps, @BeardElectric.

 

I'm going to show you how to get rid of the reminder that keeps popping up in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

By heading to the Preferences tab, we set reminders off.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Edit and choose the Preferences tab.
  2. Under the Reminder section, click the Company Preferences.
  3. Find the Overdue Invoices and set toggle it in the Don't Remind Me column.

 

Alternatively, I recommend double-checking and rebuilding your data. It can assist in the resolution of data-related challenges.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the File menu, then hover over Utilities
  2. Select Rebuild Data.
  3. On the QuickBooks Information window, select OK. Follow the on-screen instructions to save a backup.
  4. Let the tool repair your file. 
  5. When the tool finishes, select OK.
  6. Go to the File menu.
  7. Hover over Utilities and select Verify Data.
  8. Let the tool check your file for data issues.

 

In addition, kindly read this link for more information on how to resolve data difficulties on the program:  Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file.

 

Please let me know how it goes or if you have any follow-up questions about reminders. I'll be here if you need further assistance.

Unfortunately you have to delete the memorized transaction. Desktop doesn't seem to have a simple way. Even changing the preferences didn't make it go away for me, I had to delete and rememorize.

This does not work for old reminders. I tried. I had to ultimately delete the memorized transaction and rememorize it.

Hey there, rock and roll. Allow me to share some information on how to fix the printing problems in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Since you've mentioned that you already print some checks yet you're still getting print check reminders, I suggest using the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Using this tool helps fix the common problems when it comes to printing. Also, please ensure that you have the recent update of this Tool hub for a better user experience. 

 

Here's how: 

 

Step 1: Download the most recent QuickBooks Tool Hub version

 

  1. Close QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Download the most recent version (1.6.0.3) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. If you've installed Tool Hub before, you can find out which version you have. Select the Home tab. The version will be on the bottom.
  3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
  4. Follow the steps on your screen to install.
  5. Once done, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.

 

Step 2: Run the QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool

 

  1. Within the QuickBooks Tool Hub, click Program Problems.
  2. Select QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool
  3. Print, email, or save as a PDF from QuickBooks Desktop again.

 

You can also refer to this material to learn other steps to fix printing problems in QuickBooks Desktop:  Fix PDF and Print problems.

 

Moreover, you can also browse our Community articles to see some related topics that may help in your future transactions. 

 

Let me know how it goes as you try fixing this matter using the steps above. Know that I'm always around to help if you need further assistance.
