account options?

Don't forget when replying that on this list you have to do a reply to
all, or the reply just goes to the last poster. (Don't ask me why it
is setup like this, it is a pain I know, but presumably some like it
like this).

Assuming that you are using 2.2.9 then you just have to delete the
file FISO 2100 which will be wherever you initially saved it (if you
can't remember where that is, open it and click File, Save As, this
will open the folder that it resides in, then cancel). .  There is no
need to remove the accounts before deleting the file (it might be best
to keep a backup of it just in case you find you have deleted the
wrong one).  In fact you don't have to delete the file at all of
course, you can just ignore it.  If you are using the unstable
development version 2.3.x then if you saved it in xml or sqlite format
then again it is just a file where you saved it.  If using mysql then
you have to delete the database of that name using a mysql tool.
Again make sure you back up before removing it in case you remove the
wrong one.
