How do I delete a contractor?

Hi kate45. 

I'm happy to help, what you're going to want to do is follow these steps and make sure there aren't any unpaid invoices or bills first. Which shouldn't be an issue as you stated there aren't any payments associated with them. Follow along below:

1. In the left menu, select Workers then Contractors.
2. Click the contractor’s name.
3. Below the contractor’s name, click the Active drop-down arrow.
4. Then select Mark as inactive.

If you have any other questions, feel free to post here anytime. Thank you and have a nice evening. 

Thanks, Nick. I don't want to mark them as "inactive" - I want to completely delete the record. Otherwise I will have both an Active and Inactive record with the same name, which is likely to cause confusion.

Hi there, kate45.

For now, there's no option to completely delete a contractor in QuickBooks Online. You can filter the list of contractors so you can also see the active ones. Here's how: 

1. Go back to the Contractors tab.
2. Click the drop-down list beside the search bar and select Active.
