How do i delete an envelope that i created for my quickbooks cash account?

Hello there, @usermatthiashomeimpr.

 

Let me share some information on how you can manage your envelopes in the Cash Flow window.

 

Currently, deleting an envelope is not available. However, you can edit it and change its name. Just make sure you have transferred the money out from the created envelope. Here's how:

  1. Go to the Cash Flow menu.
  2. Choose the Envelopes section.
  3. Select View next to the envelope you want to take the money out of.
  4. In the Current balance section, select Transfer money.
  5. Select Transfer out.
  6. In the From field, make sure you selected the correct envelope.
  7. In the To field, select your QuickBooks Cash account. You can also select one of your connected bank accounts, but the transfer will take a little longer.
  8. Enter the amount you want to take out of your envelope.
  9. Click Next, then select Continue when the transfer request finishes.

You can learn more details about taking money out of an envelope in this article.

 

On the other hand, should you wish to close your QuickBooks Cash account, you'd want to make sure that it has a $0 balance. Once the balance is $0, I'd recommend contacting our Payments Support team. They have the tools to securely access your account and further assist you with managing your envelopes. Here's how to contact us:

  1. Visit: https://community.intuit.com/browse/payments-contact-us.
  2. Choose the specific Merchants Service product you're using.

hello,

 

Can we get an update to delete, or at the very least, archive the envelopes?

Thanks for bringing this one to our attention, canalesal. 

 

There's no specific time frame for when the option to delete the envelope will be available. What we can do is to transfer the money out from the created envelope. You can also edit it and change its name by following the steps provided by 

IamjuViel. For more details about this one, see the Create envelopes to set your funds aside article. 

 

I'm also including these Cash Flow-related links for additional guide and reference:

Without even asking if I was interested, QBO inserted a sample Envelope in my Cash Account:

This is annoying because I feel I already use Envelopes quite well, don't need any more and having this one is just a distracting piece of clutter. 
And even more annoying that there seems to be no way to delete it.

Or am I missing something?

I hear your sentiments, @micon3591.

 

As mentioned above, we’re unable to delete or archive the envelope. I can see how the option to do so would benefit your business and to the program. However, this is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online. 

 

I want you to know that your opinion is important to us and we value it. With this, I’d suggest sending feedback request to our product development team. They will evaluate these and pick some of them to include in future updates. This way, we can help you with your business needs. 

 

Here’s how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under the Profile column, click on Feedback.
  3. Share your feedback. Then, click Next.

 

You'll want to track your suggestion through this website. You can also visit our blog to keep up with all of our recent events and developments.
