Currently, there isn't a way to permanently remove the "(deleted)" word beside an inactivated account. As an alternative, there are two options on how you can permanently remove the deleted subcategory in the program. Doing so will completely remove it from your reports.

This helps you quickly find them in the Chart of Accounts page. To learn more about this process, check out this article: Keeping Accounts In Order.
