Hello,
It's awesome to hear that you've joined the QuickBooks Online family! Transitioning from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online means that you'll now have more flexibility in your bookkeeping. I'll explain how to remove the unnecessary employees that you've brought over from QuickBooks Desktop.
While you're unable to delete employees in the program, you can make them Inactive in just a few clicks. It's important that their information is recoverable in your books, which is why making them inactive is available, rather than a permanent delete.
Here's how to make an employee inactive:
1. Click the Employees tab on the left navigation menu.
2. Select the employee from the list.
3. Click the small Pencil icon next to Employment.
4. Change the status of the employee to Inactive.
5. Click Done.
This will remove the employee from your "Employees" page, making sure your books aren't cluttered. If you ever need to see a list of employees including the inactive ones, you can do so by clicking the drop-down menu above the employee list, then select Include Inactive.
If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to our tech support team.
Have a great day.
