Hello, rebecca-evaashle.
I'll show you a couple of ways to delete your data from QuickBooks Self-Employed. I'll also throw a tip on how to restart in a clean slate.
There are two ways to restart in QuickBooks Self-Employed. The first method is to simply delete your transactions (imported and categorised). Here's how:
For manually imported transactions (through a CSV file):
- Open the Gear icon, then choose Imports.
- Select the account.
- In the Files imported section, click the Trash can icon.
- In the pop-up prompt, choose Delete.

For connected accounts:
- Open the Gear icon, then choose Bank accounts.
- Click the trash can icon again.
- Type "DELETE" in the text box.
- Click Delete.

Doing these steps will delete the transactions (categorised or not) from your account.
If you have transactions that were manually added (not through a CSV file), here's how you can remove them:
- Go to the Transactions menu.
- Find and check the transactions you manually added.
- Click the trash can icon, then hit Apply.

The second method is to cancel your current subscription and sign up for a new one (might have to use a new email address to resubscribe). This article can tell you more about the process: Cancel your QuickBooks Self-Employed subscription.
