Are imported data able to be deleted?

Thanks for coming here, anonymous-85ad2a.

 

If these are imported transactions in your Banking tab, you can batch delete them by following the instructions below:

 

  1. Click the Banking menu.
  2. Go to the For Review tab and mark the items you want to delete.
  3. Click the Batch actions button and choose Exclude Selected.

  4. Once done, go to the Excluded tab and mark the transactions again.
  5. Click the Batch actions button, then choose Delete.

However, if the imported data are list (vendors, customers, inventory, and chart of accounts), then you'll want to make them inactive in QBO.

 

Here's an example on how to delete a Chart of Accounts, Products and Services:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under Lists, choose All Lists.
  3. Open the appropriate list, for example, Chart of Accounts, Products and Services.
  4. Find the list element you need to delete.
  5. In the Action column, select the drop-down arrow, then select Make inactive.
  6. Select Yes to confirm the deactivation.

For more information about deleting other types of list, check out this article: How to edit, delete, and restore list elements.

 

On the other hand, you can also reset or purge your company data. This process deletes all data entered into the company, and you are no longer able to restore or reverse them. For more detailed steps, you can check this article: Delete your data and start over in QuickBooks Online.

 

Be sure to get back to me if you have additional questions. It would be my pleasure to help. Have a good one!
