Welcome to the Community, @srivero3. I'm here to help you delete your old data and start over.

 

If your QuickBooks Online (QBO) data is less than 60 days, you can purge your account using QBO Plus, Essentials, and Advanced. The system deletes all data entered into the company, and you'll no longer restore or reverse them.

 

To purge the data, follow the steps listed below:

 

  1. Log in to your QBO account as an admin. Make sure it's the right company.
  2. Go to the URL in your browser's address bar. Delete all the text and enter the following web address instead:
  3. To confirm you want to delete your company data, enter Yes.
  4. Select OK, then Wipe data.

 

Once the process is finished, you can start your books from scratch.

 

  1. Sign up for QuickBooks Online.
  2. Enter your user ID and password.
  3. You can use the same user ID and password as before.

 

You can read this article for more information: Delete your data and start over in QuickBooks Online.

 

I'm also adding this article to learn how to manage QuickBooks Online when running your business: Learn about QuickBooks Online with how-to videos.

 

Feel free to leave a reply if you need further assistance in deleting your old files. I'd be more than happy to help. Take care and have a great day!

If you are using QBO Simple Start, you should signup for a new account instead.
