I have a question about retraining

[ponmbr]

I'm in a game as a level 10 ranger and I'm not satisfied with my current character and am wanting to reclass into fighter. I have some questions about this though. I know it costs 10 x class level (10) x number of days to retrain and that ranger has synergy with fighter so that would cost me 5000 gold to do plus the money it will cost to retrain my odd level feats which I believe will be another 5000 gold. My character already has decent stats for what I'm wanting to retrain to so I don't need to pay for retraining ability points.

This might be something basic that I just missed, but what happens to the skill ranks I got as a ranger? Do I erase those and reapply skill points as a fighter or is that going to cost additional money?

You remove everything you received from the ranger levels and replace it with what the fighter levels give you. That means (barring archetypes) fewer skill points and different class skills. Since you're buying skills afresh, I don't see a problem with changing them, but you might choose to limit that to maintain narrative logic.

The feats you get as class features will most likely change too. I agree that you'd have to retrain separately any odd-level feat selections that are then invalid.
