How do you delete a general ledger account. Only choice I see is to make it inactive. I want to delete several accounts

Deleting accounts in QuickBooks is a great functionality, valledeluzhoa-.

 

As of now, QuickBooks only allows making accounts inactive instead of deleting them. I can see how this functionality would be beneficial to your business. I encourage sending feedback directly to our Product Development team. This helps us improve the features of the program.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear menu and then select Feedback.
  2. Type in your feature request in the description box.
  3. Once done, click on Next.
