Hi SoniS,
Thanks for your response.
Accounts cannot be deleted if there are transactions entered. In your case, if the account was never used and no transactions were entered, you can make the account inactive to remove it from the Accounts List. You can also check the Help Article: Deleting an account for more information on how to do this.
Feel free to post again anytime if you require further assistance.

Hi SoniS
One reason an account cannot be deleted - while the account might not have any transactions at present, it may have at some point in time (since deleted). MYOB tracks accounts that have been used for the Journal Security Report. If there is an entry for the account here, this means the account has been used and cannot therefore be deleted.
