Purging old account Categories
We have been using MYOB since 2000. As you would appreciate we have lots of account categories that are no longer used.
The unused categories have been made "inactive" but cannot be deleted as they...

If you are using AccountRight and referring to accounts, these cannot be deleted directly (other than by a 3rd party with specialist tools such as MYOX Services) - however you can remove them indirectly.
Let's say you have 20 unused Asset accounts you want to get rid of. Nominate one of these to be the permanent account and rename, for example 1-7999 rename to Combined Old Accounts.
Then use the Combine accounts button on the Accounts List screen to combine each of the other 19 accounts with account 1-7999 - one at a time. This will in effect delete those 19 accounts.
Note1 - you can only combine accounts of the same type (Asset, Liability, etc)
Note2 - you cannot combine an account that has been used for Jobs - refer to 3rd party
