I'm glad to see you here, @micshai1.
Duplicate accounts can't be deleted. But I have steps here to inactivate them in QuickBooks. This way, they won't appear in your Chart of Accounts.
Before we start, please be aware that some accounts are default accounts and can’t be deleted.
Here's how to inactivate accounts:
- Go to the Gear icon and select Chart of Accounts.
- Choose the account you want to inactive.
- Click the drop-down arrow in the ACTION column.
- Select Make inactive and hit Yes.
