Why can't I delete an account?

Watch this video on how to delete accounts or read on below

You cannot delete an account if:

• It has transactions
  
  or
• It is a system account, such as Accounts Receivable.

If you'd like to delete a non-system account, delete all transactions (i.e. invoices, bills, expenses, credit notes, debit notes, manual journals, payments) associated with it then delete it from the Chart of Accounts.
