Hello,

Is there a way to mass delete sub accounts so I can re-import them. I know I can use the X delete button but I am look for a quicker method since there is not a way to shift select multiple accounts.

I suppose I could use an importer with the action <Delete> if there is not an simple way to complete this.

HI @AndrewBGL 

First, you will not be able to delete subaccounts if transactions are attached to them, so be careful of that. 

The only other quick way would be to hit Shift + down arrow and highlight them all to delete.

Click on a grid line hit Ctrl + A (windows standard select all shortcut) and click on X or hit delete key for page by page deletion. Don’t worry if in other parts of the screen something else is also selected when hit Ctrl + A

Yes I noticed that some of the accounts are in use.

Hello,

If there were not so many sub accounts the Ctrl + A method would of worked. I will setup an importer to delete all the items. @estebanperalta54 Thanks for sending over the screen shot of the mapping.

Is the Line Number should be equivalent to the number of Line Items to be deleted?
