Decommission Firefly III

So after playing with this and Actual Budget the past few months I've come to understand that Firefly III is just not the right budgeting software for me. Their documentation does mention that it is not a "bucket budget" software, but I'm still not really sure exactly what kind of budget it is then. I can't get it to work like I would like without a lot of manual calculations, which is not something I am interested in. I much prefer Actual Budget at this point because it does "bucket budgets" very well. So I'm going to decommission Firefly III and FIREFLY-01 to recover the resources.
