I was trying to reconcile an account for the first time since I created
it.
The reconcile dialogue says it has a starting balance of $6,300.
I have no idea from where this starting balance has come. The first
entry is $1.87.
I can't find any entry in any account for $6,300
Has anyone any ideas on how to handle this?

Hello, Liz:
Are any of the transactions in that account reconciled? Do you have a
"starting balance" transaction in that account, perhaps created when you
created the account?
The reconciliation model for GnuCash assumes that you start by
reconciling the earliest transactions, and move forward sequentially in
time, reconciling bit by bit. When you start a reconciliation, GnuCash
adds up all the reconciled transactions for that account, regardless of
date, and that becomes your starting balance.
Does this help?
Best regards,
