Hi REDwings19, 

 

Thanks for reaching out to us here.  Having the ability to remove bank accounts from your chart of accounts is a great way to keep your accounts accurate and organized.  However, QuickBooks Online only provides the option to make an account inactive and doesn't provide the option to delete accounts at this time.  I would be glad to help!

 

Here's how to make an account inactive;

 

1. Open your Settings ⚙ and select Chart of accounts

2. Locate the account you want to remove

3. Click on the ▼ dropdown menu in the Action column

4. Select Make inactive

 

If you would like to see the option to delete accounts, please don't hesitate to submit a suggestion to our Development Team.  Recommendations are greatly appreciated for improving your overall customer experience with QuickBooks Online.

 

Please reach out again, if you have other questions.  We would be happy to assist!
