If you need to start your budgets from scratch, BudgetLink has the facility to clear you budgets.
Sometimes BudgetLink will prompt that it detected deleted accounts, jobs or categories. This occurs when budgets have been entered against those entities but they have been removed from your data file. As such, BudgetLink will still remember they existed and will preserve the values but will warn that the situation occurred.
