and close out the window and now we have the complete chart of accounts both in name and in
tight to the list that was given at the beginning here you might notice two quick things number one
quickbooks automatically puts certain accounts in the chart of accounts we will disregard those
as we are not using them and notice they are in lower case you may also notice that you can
elite or remove any account by right-clicking on the account and choosing delete account or click
on the account and from the main menu click edit delete if you cannot delete an account
you can make it inactive you can click on the account and then when you right-click you can
still choose make account inactive and that's only if it does not let you delete the account another
way to make the account inactive is to click on the account and choose edit make account inactive
