Deleting Account Attachments

I added an attachment to an account, using Quicken 2007's great new feature
for keeping statements. But I attached the wrong file. I can't delete it.
When I try to delete it, I get the message: The process cannot access the
file because it is being used by another process.

Intuit, please fix this problem!

There is a work-around. Open task manager/processes & double click on "image
name." There should be a process at the top that starts w/acro (don't
remember the whole name), end that process, go back to your attachment &
click on delete. It should delete at this point -- at least this works for
me.

A very unsatisfying solution, to be sure. But it works.

Thank you PSJ.

I've actually dug down to the image folder directly and deleted it from
there. Not fun....
