Question

I have been trying to convert from Desktop for Mac to Online.

I created my account with QB online about 90 days ago. I was having such a headache, I just continued manually inputting transactions into my desktop version for Mac. When I tried to import my data originally, it only brought over data from 2018 and 2019. So, my data is incomplete. Now, I tried to go in and import and it is telling me I only had 60 days to do the migration. So, is there any way I can easily delete what was uploaded and then redo this without having to pay another large sum to transfer ALL my transactions for the last almost 10 years?
