Can not remove old bank accounts from financial statementsI tried directions online and they do not work

I'd be glad to share some instructions on removing old bank accounts in your financial statements, Kathy.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), inactive or deleted accounts still appear in your financial reports because of the transactions posted to the account while it was active. You can either temporarily or permanently remove them from your reports. 

Here are the steps to temporarily remove deleted accounts:

1. Select Customize at the top left on the financial report you're working on.
2. Scroll down to Rows/Columns, then set Show non-zero or active only to Non-zero.
3. Tap Run report.

Moreover, you'll need to make the accounts active first, then merge, move, or delete them to remove them from your reports. For detailed instructions, visit this article: Remove deleted accounts from reports in QuickBooks Online.

You can customize and memorize your reports to personalize the data and save their configuration settings in the future.
