Deleting accounts

If you look every where I am 100% certain you will find it.

Oh yes. That problem. It's a pain to find where the account got associated with some tax related item and a worse pain to find the screen to dis-associate it. I can't remember where but I was able to find it using help.

Hopefully you will remember where you found your associations which will result in big time help for the OP.

Make sure none of your Edit, Preferences, Checking or Banking, Make Deposits refers to the account. Then go to List, Items and click on the Account column header so you can see if any Item (like Bad Check in one QB Sample data file) posts to the account.

If this is not enough you might rename a different checking account to this account, merge them, and then rename it back.

Thanks. I just discovered that yesterday. List of items showed which items were associated with each account. I changed them and could then delete the account. I also found a couple of other items which were potential problems and changed them.
