It's good to hear from you today, richashton. Let's get your bank account deleted.

 

In QuickBooks Online, you can make the account as inactive. This option will mark the old accounts as deleted. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon ⚙ at the upper right corner and choose Chart of Accounts.
  2. Find the account you want to archive.
  3. Select the drop-down arrow ▼ in the ACTION column. Then select Make inactive.
  4. Hit Yes.

 

I'll be sharing with you this article: Manage default and special accounts in your chart of accounts. This will provide you details on what are the accounts that can't be deleted as well as the steps on how to merge them in QuickBooks.
