Can I delete a transaction from a deleted account?

You'll need to activate the account first before you can delete the transactions, toms.

QuickBooks Online won't completely delete an account to ensure that your transactions are intact. Whenever you need the register for your reference in the future, you can simply recover it by following the steps below:

1. Go to your Chart of Accounts and click the Gear icon at the upper right.
2. Select Include inactive.
   
3. Locate the deleted bank register or inactive account, and hit Make active.
   

Once activated, view the account's register and delete the transactions from there.
