I just started using Stessa this month and have categorized all bank imported transactions from January 1, 22 and onwards. I don’t want any tracking of 2021 and prior. Do I just delete the imported transactions I dont want? Or is there a better way without losing that data in case I need it in the future.

@lkaloti Yes, best practice is to simply delete the unwanted transactions. You can probably do it in a few clicks via “bulk delete”:
