Wipe out all data and start over


How to wipe all the info of my company and start over in QuickBooks Online Plus and Essentials? See instructions below for Simple Start.

If you’re a new customer and are within the first 60 days of having set up your account, you can delete all of the existing data and start over from scratch. If your account has been set up for more than 60 days you will need to cancel your current company and start a new company to start from scratch.

To complete the process, follow the instructions below:

Log in to your QuickBooks Online company.
Change the URL to include /purgecompany instead of /homepage

EXAMPLE:

URL shows: https://qbo.intuit.com/c27/app/homepage
Change to: https://qbo.intuit.com/c27/app/purgecompany
