Hi again,
Allow me to clarify this a bit more and touch base on the differences in QuickBooks versions. In order to access the batch delete feature you will need the accountants edition of QuickBooks. The reason you see it in the release notes is due to Pro, Premier and Accountant all being the same base program but each version allowing access to more features and functions.
When you create a new company from an existing company file it moves over your balances and lists to allow your company file to be smaller. This is to prevent issues such as the company file being to large to work properly. We recommend keeping it under 1GB or under 5 years to prevent the issues you are running into. This is best done at your end of year so that everything is closed out and can be moved over. Another option is creating a new file and exporting the information over using IIF files which can be done by following the steps in this link.
At this time there is no information on when or if the condense feature will be available on the Canadian version of QuickBooks. If this is a feature you want included in later updates you can always provide feedback that goes straight to our developers by going to: Help>Send Feedback Online>Product Suggestions.
If you have further questions or need any additional help setting this up, I suggest reaching out to our support team. This way an agent can screen share to help get you back on track. Their hours of operation and contact information can be found here.
Hope that was able to clear up any confusion.
