Delete a bank account, I’ve tried everything but the account is still there, there is no way let me delete it

Hi there, userangelavjuanjo.

 

Let me help you delete a bank account.

 

You may need to disconnect the bank connection since it's linked to the online banking feature. Keep in mind that you can restore a deleted account, but may need to make corrections to journal entries and balances.

 

To disconnect an account:

  1. In the navigation bar, click Banking, and then select the Banking sub-tab.
  2. Choose the account you want to delete, and then click its Edit icon, then Edit account info.
  3. In the Account window, select Disconnect this account on save.
  4. Select on Save and Close.

Then, you can now delete it. Here's how:

  1. Select Accounting, then go to Chart of Accounts.
  2. Look for the account.
  3. Click the View register drop-down arrow, then choose Delete.
  4. You'll receive a message, "Are you sure you want to delete this?", click Yes.

If you're unsure, check with your accountant l before deleting an account.

 

See this reference on how to remove deleted accounts from reports.

 

Stay in touch if there's anything else you need. I'll be around to help you further.
