Yes, you can safely delete those .ND (Network Data) files. Here's how:

 

  1. Close QuickBooks Desktop completely.

  2. Open File Explorer and navigate to your company file folder.

  3. Locate the .ND file. It shares the same name as your company file with an .nd extension.

  4. Right-click and select Delete.

 

Since you use single-user mode, deleting them won't affect your financial data or software performance. If you ever switch to multi-user mode, QuickBooks will recreate them automatically to help multiple computers connect to your file over a network.


For more details about .ND files, check out this article: .ND files in QuickBooks Desktop.
