You can easily restore a deleted account in your Chart of Accounts by making it active again, as deleted accounts are simply marked as inactive. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon in the top-right corner.
  2. Select Chart of Accounts.
  3. Click the small Gear icon just above the Action column list.
  4. Check the box for Show inactive accounts.
  5. Find the account you want to recover in the list (it will display (deleted) next to its name).
  6. In the Action column, click Make active.

 

If you meant something else about a deleted account, please let us know which specific account you are referring to. We're always here to help.
