Re: [GNC] how to delete a new file
If in the Journal rather than a specific account register, the balance will always be zero since each transaction is always balanced.

Re: [GNC] how to delete a new file
And, if all columns' widths are adjusted and not all columns are viewable, there should be a scroll bar just below all columns that you can use to shift the columns left and right.

Re: [GNC] how to delete a new file
Hi Harvey, When you say " When i get to the point of entering transactions, there is no space for "balance" at the end of the entry line" does this mean that the register is not showing all the columns? If so, you might just need to resize the columns you can see by double-clicking on the dividing lines between the columns (at the top of the columns in the header), especially at the end of the description column.

Welcome to GnuCash. To answer your question - you can simply delete your unwanted file using Windows Explorer - I’m a Mac user, so I’m not sure where a Windows machine will store its GC files by default. It will be called XXX.gnucash, where XXX is the name you chose for it when you first set it up. Alternatively, you can use File—>New to create a new one, and ignore the first one in future. However, your problem with the missing opening balance can be resolved without deleting anything. See https://lists.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/cbook-accounts1.html for instructions.

Re: [GNC] how to delete a new file
I’m not sure what screen you are viewing but there should be a balance column for every transaction in every account register. However, you do not enter the balance. GnuCash calculates it for you. There probably is no need to start all over, but if you must, simply delete the data file after you’ve closed the program. The next time you start, GnuCash will open with a blank book, which you’ll need to set up again. You can also use the File > New File option which will open a blank book, and you retain the original should you decide to not delete it quite yet. > On Jan 8, 2020 w2d8, at 3:51 PM, Harvey Moxness wrote: > > I hope someone can help I am new to gnu/cash and trying to set up a simple > bookkeeping file, as a chequebook.
