I'd be glad to assist you in handling your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO), hshawkat.
QuickBooks doesn't delete accounts but makes them inactive for easy access to past transaction data for reporting. Here's how to edit or delete an account with sub-accounts:
Go to your chart of accounts.
Locate the account in question, then click its dropdown button.
Choose Edit or Make Inactive.
Please note that removing the parent account will also deactivate its sub-accounts, but they can be made inactive individually. Moreover, updating their data requires individual editing.
Kindly notify me if you have further questions or need assistance with your charts of accounts. I'm here for you 24/7 and ready to help you by any means.
