Delete, Archive or Restore an Account in Your Chart of Accounts

Delete, Archive or Restore an Account in Your Chart of Accounts

  • If there is an unused account then you can remove it by permanently deleting it. 
  • If you no longer need an account then you can Archive it. You can later restore the archived accounts.

How it Works 

  • Deleting an account will permanently remove it from your chart of accounts. You won’t be able to delete an account if you’ve used it in a transaction, even if you have later changed the account used by the transaction or removed the transaction completely. 
  • Clickentry suggests you archive an account that you don’t want to use anymore. It doesn’t make any impact on transactions already entered on the account. You can restore archived accounts.  
  • Locked or system accounts can not be deleted.
