Account Deletion

Hi, 

I am currently trying to delete my accounts as I was trying to start a company and something got glitched on the back end and now I am unable to access all 3 of them, nor am I able to see the accountant view. I am 100% disappointed with the customer service team, as I have spent the last 3 days talking to nearly all customer services reps and not one has helped, they just continue to transfer me. This process has been nothing but painful and all I wanted was to start a company and I am now unable to access any resources. I have no more emails and no more phone numbers to use to make another company. I would love some help as to how to handle this. I have tried deleting them through the website, it says it's been requested, then emails me again to say something needs to be fixed, and nothing happens. I am just trying to delete my accounts so I can start my company without complications. All helps and advice is awesome, thanks.

Account Deletion

Hi there, @cutie200210. Welcome to the Community.

 

I appreciate you sharing your experience and I understand how important it is to get your accounts cleared so you can move forward with starting your new company file.

 

To clarify, may I ask if your account deletion has already been processed after contacting our support team? If so, that would explain why you can no longer access your three accounts. In that case, you can simply resubscribe to a QuickBooks Online plan using the same email and phone number to start a fresh company file.

 

However, if your accounts haven't fully deleted yet and they are less than 60 days old, you can use the Purge option. Purging wipes all data and resets the company file to a blank state, allowing you to start fresh with the same login. To do this:

 

  1. Sign in to each of your company file.
  2. Click this article to start purging: Purge company data.
  3. Follow the prompts to confirm the purge.

 

You can visit this article explore more about purging: Delete your company data and start over in QuickBooks Online.

If your account are older than 60 days, purging won't be available. In that case, you'll need to cancel the subscription first and then resubscribe to new plan to start a fresh company. You can still use the same email and phone number when resubscribing.
