If you want to delete data and start fresh in QuickBooks Online, there are a few steps you can follow:
- Back up your data: Before you start deleting any data, make sure you have a backup of all your important information. This will ensure that you can restore your data if anything goes wrong during the process.
- Clear your data: To clear your data, go to the Gear icon in the upper right corner of your QuickBooks Online account and select “Account and Settings”. Then, select “Advanced” from the left-hand menu and scroll down to the “Delete Company” section. Click the “Clear Data” button and follow the prompts to confirm the deletion.
- Start fresh: Once you have cleared your data, you will need to start fresh with a new company file. To do this, go to the QuickBooks Online sign-up page and sign up for a new account. You will then need to set up your new company file and import any necessary data.
- Import your data: If you have any data from your previous QuickBooks Online account that you want to import into your new account, you can do so using the Import Data feature. To access this feature, go to the Gear icon and select “Import Data” from the drop-down menu. Follow the prompts to upload your data.
Note: Deleting data in QuickBooks Online is a permanent action and cannot be undone. Therefore, it’s essential to back up your data before proceeding with the deletion process. Additionally, once you start a new company file, you won’t be able to access any of the data from your previous account, so make sure to import any necessary information before you begin.
