I'm delighted to answer your concern, @AvonDM.
In QuickBooks Desktop, you have the option to reduce your file size by using the Condense Data utility. Please know that condensing data in your account is irreversible.
Here's how:
- Go to the File menu, then select Utilities.
- Click Condense Data.
- Select the best option on how you want to condense your file, then click Next.
- Choose what transactions you'd want to remove, then click Next.
- Click Begin Condense.
You may also want to convert your data from QuickBooks Desktop to the Online version. Here's the link for your future reference: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online.
Get back to me if you have additional concerns. I'll be there to help you again.
