Hello there, @paintman1.

 

I have some information to share about deleting an inventory items in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Yes, you can delete all the inventory items that you've copied and start over. Take note that deleting them needs to be done manually since eliminating items in bulk is currently unavailable.

 

 To do that:

  1. Click on Lists at the top menu bar.
  2. Select on Item List.
  3. Choose the item you want to delete.
  4. Right-click on it and press Delete Item.

However, you can also check out for a third-party application that integrates with QuickBooks Desktop and supports the ability to delete multiple items.

 

Know that our developers are always gathering and considering new features to be added in the program to cope with our customers' needs.

Will that work on 2018 Quickbooks that we've been using for 1.5 years? We had it running with Quickbooks POS 18. So now we're opening a new company file without that nightmare. You'd think in would be easy to move inventory from POS to Quickbooks. Thank you for your help with this.
