I found this to be a supremely annoying part about QBO. I assume it's restricted to prevent people from accidentally deleting entries, but it's a double edged sword because it prevents you from deleting many entries that you are certain you want to delete.
There should be an option to delete multiple entries, even if it's buried under several layers of confirmations. Even when you make an item inactive, it just dumps the value into Inventory Shrinkage when all you want to do is remove inventory items when you're just starting out and getting the hang of how to use the inventory features.
