Wells Fargo: Remove Unwanted Accounts and Their Transactions

If you connected Wells Fargo and accidentally shared extra accounts, you don’t need to delete your business or start over.

Due to a limitation with Wells Fargo’s Plaid connection, accounts you didn’t intend to share can still appear in Digits. The cleanest fix is to stop Digits from syncing history for the unwanted accounts—this removes their transactions from your books.

Frequently Asked Questions

chevron-rightWill the accounts still show up in Digits?hashtag

They may still appear under the Wells Fargo connection, but with no transactions syncing, they won’t affect the Ledger or reporting.

chevron-rightDo I need to delete and reconnect Wells Fargo?hashtag

Usually, no. The Historical Data Sync approach is the quickest way to clean things up without restarting.

chevron-rightAre those transactions “visual only” or are they in the books?hashtag

If transactions were imported, they are part of the Ledger until removed. After you apply the steps above, Digits removes them so they no longer affect your books or reports.
