restore quickbooks default chart of accounts

My new accountant completeley messed up quickbooks chart of accounts. It will be easier to start over than try and fix sub-accounts, type of accounts etc. How do I restore a fresh default chart of accounts ? I have not had any entries yet as I am new to QB Online, no numbers yet so it will not be a problem, just trying to set up my chart of accounts first. 

 

Thanks,

 

Mauricio

    MJA66-87 is right, violameme.

     

    However, if your account doesn’t meet the requirements to purge the data, you have to sign up for a new subscription. Afterwards, import transactions from your old account to the new one.

     

    This link will help you export and import list data into QuickBooks Online.
