How to Pack a Pocket Quicken File

If you delete transactions or accounts in Pocket Quicken, they are merely marked as deleted and left untouched in the .pdt file. There does not seem to be any pack function that will flush all deleted pieces out of the file. One solution to this problem is to export all transactions, accounts, categories and groups to .qif files, then create a new .pdt file and import everything back into the new file. Theoretically, this should not change the balances, as you can set them by manually creating them, rather than using the export/import procedure. Note: the import process is very slow. Depending on the number of transactions, you may wish to do it on a desktop.
