How do I delete my Quickbooks account?

Thank you for turning to the Community about your concern, hsfarm-online. I'm here to point you in the right direction on how to properly handle your concern. 

 

If your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account is still 60 days or less, let's utilize the purge option to delete the data. This function is only available in Essentials, Plus, and Advanced versions. 

 

Before we start, I recommend exporting all of the transactions, name lists, or reports to keep a copy of your company information for future use. Next, perform these steps to wipe your data. 

 

  1. Sign in to your QBO account.
  2. Edit the URL in the browser window to /purgecompany.
    **Before: https://…qbo.intuit.com/app/homepage
    **After    :     https://…qbo.intuit.com/app/purgecompany
  3. Type Yes to confirm the action.
  4. Once prompted, click OK and select Wipe data.

 

If your company is beyond 60 days old, you’ll have to cancel it. Also, the account will be available in read-only access for one year from the cancellation date. This reference tackles various methods to unsubscribe from your account: Cancel your QuickBooks Online subscription or trial.

 

For the complete removal of your account, follow, you'll have to open your Intuit Account. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to accounts.intuit.com.
  2. Head to the Data & Privacy menu on the left of the page and select Delete to view more options. 
  3. In the Data privacy screen, choose the appropriate reason from the list and tap the Continue button to proceed.
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the process.

    Requests can take up to 90 days. During this time, don’t create a new Intuit Account using the same email address, or the new data may also get deleted.

 

For more details about updating your profile, security settings, third-party apps, as well as files, check out this article: Access and manage your personal data from your Intuit Account.

 

I've included some links that contain topics on how Intuit handles the privacy and security of your account:
