Hello,
I have tried several times to delete my Quickbooks accounts (3 in total). Only, when I try, this message appears and I don't know where to go to finish these tasks.

"Action required on your deletion request
You have some tasks to complete before we can begin processing your deletion request."

Thanks in advance

Hello, contact-vision-i. 

 

You're unable to delete your QuickBooks Online account once it's more than 90 days old. You'll need to cancel it.

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Go to Settings, then select Account and settings.
  3. Select Billing & Subscription.
  4. Press Cancel.
  5. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the process. 

 

If this isn't the case, you have the option to purge your company file.

 

To purge the data:

 

  1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Change the URL to include /purgecompany.
  3. Example: URL shows https://...qbo.intuit.com/app/homepage, change to https://...qbo.intuit.com/app/purgecompany.
  4. The next screen will provide a summary of the items to be deleted.
  5. Type the word “YES” once the data gets deleted, then click OK.
  6. Click Wipe Data once your selections are complete.
  7. Once the deletion is complete, you will be rerouted to your home page.

 

Note: Purge an account is only available for users using QuickBooks Online Plus, Essentials, and Advanced. 

 

I'm including a link that contains insight on purging: Delete your data and start over in QuickBooks Online. 

 

Let me know how the process goes to ensure you're able to delete your account. Have a great day!

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I have just done this but it does not work and it has been more than 90 days since I have all my Quickbooks accounts.

I find it strange that we can't even delete all of our accounts. We don't even have direct contact with customer service, we have to go through the "community. This would make the process much easier...
