Can I delete bills that are in my QBO from 8 years ago? They have been paid, but the payment itself was applied but never attached to the bill itself.

You certainly have the option to remove those old bills from your QuickBooks Online account, Marylou624. Since these bills are already settled and not linked to transactions, their deletion could help streamline your financial records.

However, it is advisable to consult with your accountant before proceeding. They can offer tailored advice specific to your business needs and help ensure that no essential data is inadvertently lost, maintaining your financial history and compliance with relevant regulations.

To delete these bills, please follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Expenses menu and select Vendors.
2. Open the bill you wish to delete.
3. At the bottom, click on the More option.
   
4. Select Delete and confirm by choosing Yes.

Additionally, you may want to consider upgrading to QuickBooks Online Advanced to enter multiple expenses or bills at the same time. It saves time on data entry, especially for users who handle accounts payable or accounts receivable.

I commend you on taking the initiative to tidy up your QuickBooks environment, Marylou624. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with. Have a great day ahead!
