How do I delete a GL account from QB online Essentials?

I have just read up on account limits being imposed as of next month. I have accounts that QB online added to my chart of accounts that I do not need. I also can get rid of some of the accounts that we no longer use at the next fiscal year start (which is April 1).

The only option I can find is to deactivate a GL account. Does that option remove it from the "count" limit I am now needing to stay under?

Hello Karen SCR,

Let me share some details about the file size limits of QuickBooks Online.

QuickBooks Online doesn't have limits on lists, such as accounts, customers or items/inventory. You can enter as many customers, accounts, or items. Check out this link for more details: QuickBooks Online file size and feature limits.

As for your other question, you're right that QuickBooks Online doesn't have an option to delete an account. You can only make it inactive.

You can do it by following these steps:

Click Accounting on the left pane.
Choose Chart of Accounts.
Locate the account and click the drop-down beside View Register.
Select Make Inactive.
Click Yes to confirm.

If you have other questions, I'm happy to answer it for you. Just post it here as a comment and we'll take a look at it. Have a good one.

You should ask to be included in the email list that everyone got.
