How to do purge company

Hello, team.vnj.rpc. 

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. In QuickBooks you can purge your data if your account aged is less than 60 days. Please keep in mind that this process only works for QuickBooks Online Plus and Essentials. The system deletes all data entered into the company, and you're unable to restore or reverse them.  

 

To purge the data, follow the steps listed below: 

 

  1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Change the URL to include /purgecompany.
  3. Example: URL shows https://qbo.intuit.com/c28/app/homepage, change to: https://qbo.intuit.com/c28/app/purgecompany.
  4. The next screen will provide a summary of the items to be deleted.
  5. Type the word “YES” once the data gets deleted, then click OK.
  6. Click Wipe Data once your selections are complete. 

  

After it, you'll be routed to your home page to start entering the data on your account. However, If it's 60 days old or older, you need to cancel your account and start a new subscription.

Post again if there's anything you need assistance with. I'm more than happy to help. Have a great day!
