I have accumulated so many reports that aren't needed. How do I delete them?
On the memorized reports list, right click the report and choose Delete.

This is what my Memorized Report menu looks like, and it's nothing like the image you posted in your answer. Neither a right-click nor Cmd-D has any effect on the menu. As you can see, my previously created and now useless reports are piling up and I want to cull the list.
Thank you for the screenshot you provided, bbnoonan.
You'll want to select a specific report first before you press on Command+D on your keyboard. Repeat the steps for all memorized reports.
I'm adding this article for future reference: QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2019 User’s Guide.
Let me know if it worked. I'll be here if you need further assistance.
I am having the same problem on my Mac. When I right click or use cmd D after I have highlighted a memorized report, the report just opens. It does not delete it. Did you figure out a solution?

I am in Report Center. I do not see a Memorized Tab. There is a list of memorized reports on the left side of the window.
On the top right there is only "Search Reports"
I am on Quickbooks for Mac. OS High Sierra
The reason I want to delete memorized reports is because I am trying to delete some old accounts in chart of accounts and it receive the message that the account is connected to a Memorized transaction. So I assume if I delete the memorized report that then I can delete the account... is that correct?
Hello there, @Roundhouse1.
Yes, you're right. You'll have to locate the memorized transaction to delete the account.

This helpful - is there a way to delete a long list of memorized transactions at once? I tried highlighting and then cmd D.?
Also, I still need help deleting memorized reports (see my question previous).... do I have to delete memorized transactions first?

Thanks for coming back, Roundhouse1.
The option to delete a long list of memorized transactions at once is unavailable. We need to select a specific report first and press on Command+D on your keyboard to delete them.
Yes, you're right, we need to delete the memorized transaction first before deleting the reports.
Here's how:

Okay great. I deleted the memorized transactions one by one and then was able to delete the memorized reports too. Thanks!
This was the only way my 2024 Enterprise would allow delete as well!
In Quickbooks Online, each report has a small trash can icon in the far-right column.
Enterprise is desktop ONLY.
