Wipe your company data

If you're a new customer within the first 60 days of setting up your account, you can delete all of the existing data and start over from scratch.

If your account has been established for more than 60 days you'll have to cancel your current company and create a new company in order to start from scratch. How do I change or cancel my subscription?

Note: This process only works for QuickBooks Plus and Essentials. It does not work for QuickBooks SimpleStart.

Caution: Please keep in mind that this process will delete any data that has already been entered into the company. Once the data is deleted it cannot be restored nor reversed.

To complete the process:

1. Sign in to your QuickBookscompany.
2. From the home page, change the URL from https://qbo.intuit.com.../app/homepage to https://qbo.intuit.com.../app/purgecompany.
3. Review the summary of the items to delete.
4. To confirm that you understand the data will be deleted, type Yes.
5. Click OK.
6. Make your selections based on how you want your Chart of Accounts set up. If the industry you want to select is different than the one you see, change it and mark whether you want to create accounts based on your industry type or start with an empty chart of accounts.
7. Click Wipe Data.

You'll be rerouted to your homepage after the deletion is completed.
