Lesson 8. Budgets > Deleting a Budget
Deleting a Budget
In Figure 8.13 you see that Mint.com is monitoring my spending in the Alcohol & Bars category. My wife and I don’t drink, so while this category is handy for verifying that my wife isn’t hanging out at the local pub at happy hour, it’s really not needed.
Figure 8.13. Categories that are not relevant can be removed.
Removing a budget is even easier than editing one. Again, move your mouse pointer over the budget to be removed and click the Edit Details button. When the budget window opens, click the Delete This Budget link shown in Figure 8.14.

Tip: Deleted Budgets Still Available
Choosing to delete a budget from your list of budget categories does not remove the budget forever. You can add it back anytime because it is still visible in the category list if you click the Add a Budget button. Mint.com is still able to calculate an average spending by scanning your account transactions.
Go back to your list of budget items, and you see that your deleted budget is removed from the list, as shown in Figure 8.15.
