Can i reset my data back to start all over again

Yes, you can johnaustinelectr

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can delete your data if you need to start fresh with a new QBO company. And if your data is within 90 days of signup, you have the option to purge your account if you're using the Plus or Essentials versions. By doing this, the system deletes all data entered into the company, and you're unable to restore or reverse them.

 

To purge the data, see the below steps:

  1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Change the URL to include /purgecompany.
  3. The next screen will provide a summary of the items to be deleted.
  4. Type the word “YES” once the data gets deleted, then click OK.
  5. Click Wipe Data once your selections are complete.
  6. Once the deletion is complete, you will be rerouted to your home page.

 

However, if your books are over 90 days old, you need to cancel your account and start a new subscription.

 

For more information about this process, read this article: Delete your data and start over in QuickBooks Online

 

Here's also a YouTube video for your visual reference: How to erase your QuickBooks Online data and start over.

 

Get back to me if there's anything you need assistance with. I'm more than happy to help. Have a good day!

If you are using QBO Simple Start, you should open a new blank QBO account.

As an additional option, utilize the trial version of a backup restore app to integrate with your QBO.
