Thanks for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community, @EH67.
For now, the option to retrieve deleted accounts as well as to check who made the changes is unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop. Only inactive accounts can be activated again.
I can see how this option would be helpful for you and your business. Therefore, let me take note of this as a suggestion to improve your QuickBooks experience.
In the meantime, I'd recommend recreating the account again. Here's how:
- Go to the Lists menu, then select Chart of Accounts.
- From the Account ▼drop-down list, select New.
- Choose an account type, and click Continue.
- Complete the account details.
- Select Save & Close.
After setting up the account, you can now enter your transactions again. You can use the following resources as your reference:
Please let me know if you need clarification about this or anything else I can do for you. I'll be standing by for your response.
