Hello @lburke88,
Making the account inactive is also deleting the account. When the account is deleted, it gets removed from your Chart of accounts, and other places where you can see and choose accounts. If the account contains transactions, they remain part of your company data. You can find them through reports.
To delete the account successfully, you may need to make it inactive:
- Go to the Gear icon.
- Select Chart of Accounts under Your Company.
- Find the account you want to delete.
- Select the drop-down in the Action column, then choose Make Inactive.
- Select Yes to confirm the action.

Should you have any further questions just let me know. Stan is by your side!
