No, you cannot purge it. Why don't you just sign up for a new account?

A total purge isn't possible for a QuickBooks Online (QBO) company file that is 6 months old. The Purge option is only available during the first 60 days after account creation. To start fresh, you'll need to cancel your existing QBO subscription and create a new company file.

 

Before making any changes to your financial records, it’s important to consult with your accountant. They can help determine whether this process is suitable for your business.
