How do you delete multiple memorized reports? I have about 10 years of reports my predecessor memorized that I don't have time to CTRL-D every single one.

@dawnaclark RE: Thanks, that option will take forever. Like I said, there are literally 10 years of useless memorized reports. Where are the memorized reports stored, in other words, is there a folder on my computer that contains these reports?

Holding down the Ctrl-D keys while on the Memorized Reports list will rapid-fire delete the reports from the Memorized Reports list. You can delete about 300 a minute this way. (To avoid the "are you sure" popup message from appearing, turn it off: At Edit | Preferences | General | My Preferences, uncheck the option, "Warn when deleting a transaction or unused list item".)

The memorized reports are stored inside of your *.QBW file with your other data. There is no place in your file system to go to delete them.

Glad to see you here, @dawnaclark,

We want to help you remove your saved reports in QuickBooks Desktop. At the moment, the option to delete multiple memorized reports is still unavailable.

You will need to delete them individually using the steps below:

From the Reports menu, select Memorized Reports then Memorized Report List.
Find the report to delete from the list.
Right-click the report and choose Delete Memorized Report or press Ctrl + D on your keyboard.
Press OK to confirm that you want to delete the memorized report.

Having the option to delete batch reports from the Memorized Report List is a great idea. We want your voice to be heard and be put in action. If you have any product suggestions to our developers about our report preferences, go to the Help menu and select Send Feedback Online.

Please note that I am here if you have any other concerns about QuickBooks reports or need further assistance with anything in the program. Just mention me anytime to notify me. Have a nice day!
