Can i delete an account?

Hi there, 

Having the option to delete accounts and create new ones is important. Your business is always evolving, and it's our goal to provide powerful accounting software that can change along with your business. I'd be happy to explain how you can delete your account and set up a new one with the same account number in QuickBooks Online. 

For the sake of keeping accurate business records, you have the option to make an account inactive, rather than permanently deleting it from the system. 

Here's how to make your account inactive:

1. Click the Accounting tab on the left navigation menu. 

2. Select Chart of Accounts. 

3. Click the drop-down triangle next to Account history for the account you'd like to make inactive. 

4. Click Make inactive. 

Next, set up your new account by following these steps:

1. Click the Accounting tab on the left navigation menu. 

2. Select Chart of Accounts. 

3. Click New. 

4. Enter the Account Type and Detail Type, then use the number to name the account. 

5. Click Save and Close. 

Simple as that! I hope this helps get you on the right track. If you have any other questions, let me know. 

Have a great day!
