How do you rename a created category? I made a typo and would like to rename it instead of creating a new one.

I can help you remove your expense categories in QuickBooks, @Christina,

 

I'd be more than happy to share some insights with you about removing categories in QuickBooks Online (QBO). If you're referring to the product categories,

 

I'll be sharing the steps to illustrate the process when you remove a category. Here's how:

  1. From the Sales menu, select Products and Services.
  2. Click on the dropdown beside More, then choose Manage categories.
  3. Tap the Edit link from the Action column.

 

However, if you're referring to the categories in the Chart of accounts such as expenses or income, here's how you can edit them:

 

  1. Go to the Accounting menu, then click Chart of Accounts.
  2. Find the account types you want to edit. 
  3. Tap the drop-down beside Account history.
  4. Press Edit, then Save and close when done.
     

For you reference with managing COA accounts, see this linked article: Add to or edit the Chart of Accounts

 

Reach out back to me if there's anything else I can do to help you with this categories topic. This thread is always open and I'll be right here to provide further assistance. Have a wonderful day!
