I recently updated my website and in doing so I found out that someone had "stolen" my domain name. I had to purchase a new one and I need to update Google workspace and make sure all my data tied to the old email is not lost. In short I do not have the confidence to change my domain name in Google workspace and would like someone to help me do so in a way I do not loose all the data. I looked it up on ChatGBT and I feel as if I would mess it up.

Expectations: Trouble-shoot and repair issue with Quicken. Skills: Know Quicken's quirks and fixes, including bank quirks if I haven't downloaded in over 2 months. Got a new PC in April, 2026. Yesterday I attempted to do my first download from bank to Quicken. I probably didn't transfer the Quicken account properly. I'm now missing about 2-1/2 months of data. Quicken shows incorrect dollar amounts listed on my bank accounts. I believe OneDrive may have had something to do with this. I did delete OneDrive on the new PC (Windows 11). - Would like to work remotely to either fix this issue, or if necessary, to uninstall Quicken and reinstall. Would I then have to download everything all over again from my bank and categorize everything all over again. Yeesh! Thanks.
