Deleting a Company in QuickBooks Online

Are you wondering how to delete a company from your QuickBooks? If you are looking for the easy steps to delete company file in QuickBooks, then you are at the right place. The process of deleting a company file is quite convenient and easy to implement. 

You can remove all of the existing data and start over from scratch if you're removing a company file that was created within the last 60 days. However, to start over, you must cancel your present company and create a new one if your account has been set up for more than 60 days.

Follow these procedures to finish the process for a corporation with less than 60 days remaining on QuickBooks Online:

·         The first step requires signing into your QuickBooks Online account and updating the URL to include /purgecompany.

·         For instance:

o   If the URL is: https://qbo.intuit.com/c28/app/homepage

o   Then you need to change it to: https://qbo.intuit.com/c28/app/purgecompany

·         Afterward, the following screen will show a summary of the items being erased. You must input "Yes" and then hit on "Ok" to indicate that you do provide your consent for the data deletion.

·         Feel free to modify the company you want to choose if it differs from the one displayed. Also, indicate whether you want the system to establish accounts for you based on your industry or to construct a blank chart of accounts at this point. Once all of your choices have been made, click Wipe Data. You will be directed to your home page after completing the deletion.
