jenjer Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi, I am new to the program... I didn't make a 'test' company first... my bad. Any way...now that I am comfortable and ready to start. I have some entries that I can't seem to get cleared out. Can anyone tell me, is there a way to simple 'clear all data' ? Thanks in advance for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamW Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 you should be able to just delete the company file and it removes everything associated with it. If anything is still there after the company file is removed you can just manually remove items, customers etc or just uninstall the software and them make sure that the nch directory on the pc is also gone and reinstall and start over.

N_C_H_OMG Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 If you are using Windows (Vista or later), ExpressAccounts data are stored in ProgramData folder (it may be hidden). For example, on my PC it's stored at: C:\ProgramData\NCH Software\ExpressAccounts 1) Exit 'Express Accounts' program 2) Delete above 'ExpressAccounts' folder and including all subfolders. OR (just to be safe) rename it to something else like 'ExpressAccountsBackup' 3) Run 'Express Accounts' program. It should start up with wizard to enter 'Company name' and other start-up details. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SansSuit Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Same problem, except I'm on a Mac (Mavericks). Program (free) will not let me delete accounts. I cannot find the data folder. Any hints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorthorn Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 On a Mac using OS10.6 the company file is located in the Library folder. MacBook/Users/"your user file name"/Library/Application Support/NCH Software Deleating the NCH Software folder will clear all your data, allowing you to start over.

scylla Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 The program won't let me delete accounts on OS X (paid version), the button is disabled. How can you delete just 1 account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schuiling Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Same problem: I would like to delete a 'Business' from EA 4.7.3, on my Apple Marvericks version 10.9.1. The Delete button is grey and not working. Furthermore, I cannot find the NCH Software folder on /Library/Application Support/NCH Software. What should I do to delete a company/business and start all over again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks NZ Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi, I am setting up my chart of accounts and want to delete a couple of accounts I have added to Assets but I keep getting a message telling me the account has been used in a transaction and I can't delete it? I haven't even started to use the software so this can't be right. Can anyone tell me how to delete it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
