Is there a way to permanently delete/deactivate my account on QuickBooks?

Hi akakrish,

 

I know that having control over your information is important, and at QuickBooks, we aim to give you as much control over it as possible. The foremost way we do this is with how you handle your subscription and your account, and I can absolutely go over the options with you for deactivating your QuickBooks Online account.

 

Deactivating a QuickBooks Online account is as simple as cancelling your subscription. The subscription remains active until the end of the billing period, and then afterward cancels out completely and goes inactive. Your card or account won't be charged again and our system hangs onto your data for 12 months after the account goes inactive before it's purged from our system. This article has the steps for cancelling and outlines what I've just mentioned: Cancel your QuickBooks Online subscription

 

To take the cancellation a step further, you can request to have some data permanently deleted from our system. Here's how you can make that request.

  1. Go to accounts.intuit.com.
  2. Enter your QuickBooks Online login information.
  3. Select Data & Privacy from the left menu.
  4. Click the Delete option.
  5. Read the information about this process.
  6. Click Make a delete request and follow the prompts.

If you have more questions about either of those options, you're welcome to ask them right here in Community by hitting reply. Just keep in mind that you don't want to share any personal account information because this is a public forum. Although you're looking to delete your QuickBooks account, it's important to keep your personal information like your email and other details private.

 

Wishing you the best.
