I can help you erase all details saved to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account, @karklen21-yahoo-.

 

I'll make sure you can delete your company and start a new one in no time. Here are some options to remove your organization. 

 

If you're using QBO Essentials, Plus, and Advanced and have been active for more than 90 days, you have the option to purge your account. The system deletes all data entered into the company.

 

Here's how: 

  1. Sign in to your QBO, then change the URL. Example: https://...qbo.intuit.com/app/homepage to https://...qbo.intuit.com/app/purgecompany
  2. Type YES, then click OK

     3. Click Wipe Data. Once the deletion is made, you'll be redirected to your home page.

 

Following that, you can now have a new account. For additional reference about this action, read this article: Delete your data and start over in QuickBooks Online

 

If it's 90 days old or older, you have two options to deal with this issue.

 

First Option: Cancel the account, then start a new subscription.

 

Here's how to cancel: 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Account and Settings.
  2. Select the Billing and subscription tab.
  3. In the QuickBooks section, select Cancel.
  4. Follow the online instructions.

 

We retain your data for one year, and you've read-only access. We then delete the data. Ensure to have a copy of your data for your future reference. 

 

To create a new company:

  1. Go to the Plan and Pricing page, then click Select on the version you want to subscribe to. 
  2. Choose Continue without payroll if you don't need to add any service.
  3. Click Checkout, then create a new Intuit account. You can use the same user ID and a password you previously had so you can quickly switch your companies
  4. Follow the on-screen steps.

 

After that, you can now set up your QuickBooks settings to get started. For the complete steps, check out our video tutorial: Get started with QuickBooks Online.

 

Second Option: Utilize a 3rd party deleter tool.

 

Here's how: 

  1. Go to QuickBooks Apps store page. 
  2. Type Delete in the search box. 
  3. Pick a tool in the list and follow the online instructions.
