Completely deleting a prior year in QuickBooks Desktop

I started at our company on the premise that I was going to implement QuickBooks and modernize the way things are done financially.  My predecessor did just about everything by hand and on spreadsheets. FY 2019 I started setting up QB and he kept doing things his way, so we had 2 sets of books. I started getting things set up in the way we wanted to see them going forward.  There was a lot of trial and error as we figured out how to set things up in order to pull the reports we want.  By the end of 2019 things were good as far as set up.  I used QB FY2020 exclusively as my predecessor retired. 

 

We used his books for taxes, etc. for 2019.  My 2019 is not accurate due to the trial and error stuff.  Is there a way to completely delete everything that was entered in the year 2019 without having to do Every. Single. Entry individually?  It messes up my balance sheet and is just not useful at all for us.  I want it out of there.  Any way to do this more easily?
