Last resort, you can purchase a 3rd party service to migrate data to a new QBO account.

I'm here to provide clarity on deleting a primary admin and share some solutions to address your concerns effectively, horses.

 

In addition to 4Gal's suggestions, the primary admin has access to every area in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Also, they're the ones who initially set up the account. Deleting the user isn't possible, but you can assign the role to the correct user instead.

 

If you're still in touch with the previous primary admin, you can guide them through transferring the role. Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to QBO as the current primary admin. If you're unable to log in, recover your user ID or password.
  2. In your company, head to the Gear icon ⚙ in the upper right and choose Manage users.
  3. Look for the user you want to make the primary admin.
  4. In the Role column, make sure the user is listed as the Admin. If they’re not, tap the Edit link to change their role to admin.
  5. Tap the three-dot ⋮ icon in the Action section and select Change primary admin.
  6. Choose the Change primary admin option again to confirm the action. 
  7. Log out of QBO.

Once you get the email, click the link and accept the invitation to become the primary admin. Refer to this article for detailed steps: Change the primary admin user in QuickBooks Online.

 

In case you're unable to contact the prior primary admin, send a request to our account protection team for further assistance. Click the following for the complete process: Request to be the primary admin or contact.

My Primary Admin hasn't worked for me in years, and will not help me change her off of the admin and add myself.  Now what??
