Thanks for joining this conversation, @MetalDepot.

Inactivating sales rep should stop them from showing in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Since they keep on reappearing, let's run the QuickBooks built-in diagnostic and repair tools called rebuild and verify data utilities. These tools will repair and notify you of any possible data damage within the file.

Here's how:

1. Go to File menu at the top to get to the Utilities and Rebuild Data.
2. Choose OK. Follow the prompts to save a backup.
3. Click OK once completed.
4. Now, go back to File, then Utilities, and select Verify Data this time.

If QB detected no problem with your data, hit OK and double-check if the date is already correct. However, if it finds an issue, you will be prompted to Rebuild Now or View Errors. Choose Close, then perform the steps below. Here's how:

1. Locate and check the QBWin.log or QuickBooks.log files.
2. Scroll to the bottom for the most recent Verify information.
3. Find the line that contains the LVL_ERROR, then check Top data damage errors in QuickBooks Desktop.
