how to delete all the information after having made bank reconciliation

I entered the bank information and it brought me all the movements, I did the bank reconciliation and I gave it a finish. then I wanted to delete everything because I do not want to have the bank connected to my accounting and it allows me to delete but the information does not go away from what I reconcile... it doubles the value in the reports.I want to delete everything and start again to enter my accounting since it has only been 2 months and few movements

how to delete all the information after having made bank reconciliation

Welcome to the Community, @Cmrscan. I'm here to help you delete the information from your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.

 

Before we proceed, I recommend exporting all the reports and lists in your current company file and saving them in your desktop folder. You can use it in the future as a reference or guide. 

 

Next, to delete every data in your company so you can start from scratch the process will depend on how old your subscription is. 

 

If your books are 60 days old or older, you can only cancel your current QBO subscription to start a new one. Once finished, you're now ready to start a new company file by signing up again. I'll guide you on how: 

 

  1. Sign up for QBO account.
  2. Then, input your user ID and password. You can use the same user ID and password you used before.
  3. If you use payroll, make sure to add Payroll in Step 2 of the sign-up process (optional).

 

However, if it is less than 60 days old, you can delete your company using these steps:

 

  1. Log in to your QBO account as the administrator.
  2. Next, look at the URL in your browser's address bar. Remove all the text after the last / and enter purgecompany.
    For example:
  3. Type Yes to confirm.
  4. Click OK and then select Wipe data.

 

For additional details about the process, visit this article: Delete your data and start over in QuickBooks Online.

 

I've also added a compilation of how-to videos to further assist you in navigating your QBO account. Feel free to access it whenever needed: Learn about QuickBooks Online with how-to videos.


Please let me know how this goes. I'd love to know updates about this. If you have follow-up queries about managing your QBO account, don't hesitate to post a reply below. I'm always here in the Community to assist you and ensure your goals are met. Have a good one and take care.

@Cmrscan 

If you are using QBO Simple Start, you should sign up for a new account and cancel the old one.
