Deleting a product / Cleaning up

Hi please may I have advise

I have asked this question before but dont know where to find previous questions asked - so apologies for the repeat.

I want to clean up my quickbooks inventory.  There is a lot of inacurate details captured or redundant product lines.

If i delete a prduct that has been used in an invoice will it affect the past.  

if I ammend the name etc will it affect the past?

Yes. Deleting and editing your items are retroactive. The changes will affect your past, present, and future transactions including your reports. Deleting an item will give you a deleted mark beside its name. I'm adding this screenshot for your visual reference.

 

Here's an article you can open for more tips while modifying your inventory items: Add, edit, and delete product and service items in QuickBooks Online. If you want to revise the item type for your product or service, check out this link as your guide: Change product and service item types in QuickBooks Online.
