Unable to Make Active a deleted account. The Make Active button doesn't work. How do I activate a deleted account?

Hello there, @info1968.

 

I'm here to help you resolve the issue of being unable to activate a deleted account.

 

The stored files in your browser are typically the source of unexpected behavior or failures in QBO. Your cache saves the files from many websites you visit, so you can quickly load the pages the following time. The browsing speed of websites like QBO may be impacted if the cache is retaining too much data.

 

It's a good idea to check for issues brought on by a full cache when browsing anonymously because doing so prevents the cache from recording your browsing data. You may also try to use other browsers.

 

  • Chrome: Press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox: Press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Press Command + Shift + N

If the steps above will not work, you can use supported browsers as an alternative.

 

If the given procedures are successful, I advise you to clear the cache in your browser to avoid utilizing outdated forms, safeguard your data, and improve the performance of our programs on your computer.

 

If the issue persists, I recommend contacting our Customer Care team. You can request for a screen-sharing session so they can investigate further the reason of this issue.
