Can I delete all past years accounts?

Hi there nigel. You can’t permanently delete an account in your Chart of Accounts, but making it inactive works the same way. The account will be removed from the COA and other menus, though any related transactions will still appear in reports.
 
To make an account inactive:
 
  1. Click the Gear icon.
  2. Select Chart of accounts under Your Company.
  3. Check the box next to the account name.
  4. In the Batch actions dropdown, select Make inactive.
 
For more details, feel free to check out this article to make an account inactive on your COA.

If you have any more questions or need clarification, just let us know below. We’re here to help.
