Hello there, johnchoma60. I can share insights about how you can delete your company and start a new one.
If the data in your QuickBooks Online account is within the last 60 days, you can opt to clear your account if you're using QuickBooks Online Plus, Essentials, or Advanced. This process involves the deletion of all entered company data, and it's important to note that once completed, the action is irreversible, and there's no option to restore the deleted data.
Here's a general guide on how to do it:
Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
Change the URL to include /purgecompany.
Example: URL shows https://...qbo.intuit.com/app/homepage, change to: https://...qbo.intuit.com/app/purgecompany.
The next screen will provide a summary of the items to be deleted.
Type the word “YES” once the data gets deleted, then click OK.
Click Wipe Data once your selections are complete.
Once the deletion is complete, you will be rerouted to your home page.
For users with the QBO Simple Start version and companies exceeding the 60-day threshold, the sole option available is to cancel the account.
Here you have it! I'm enthusiastic about offering further details on any QuickBooks-related matter. Feel free to drop your questions or topics in the comments, and I'll be delighted to assist you.
