Hi there, mcccigc.
Once you cancel an account, we hang on to your data for up to a year and it will be listed under Cancelled Companies when you login. The scheduled date of permanent deletion is located beside the company name.
Here's a sample screen shot for a better view:

To get those old transactions from the closed account, you can export and import lists from the old company to the new one. The transactions need to be entered manually. You may use a CSV or an Excel file to export the lists then import it to another QuickBooks Online account.
To export the data:
- On your QuickBooks account, go to the Gear icon.
- Select which data you'd like to export.
- Click on the Export to Excel button.
To import the data:
- Log in to the new account, then click on the Gear icon at the upper right.
- Under Tools, choose Import Data.
- Select the type of data that you'd like to import.
- Click Browse to select a file to be imported.
- Click on the Next button until finished.
