Yes, you can, @Corki. I’d also like to congratulate you on successfully migrating your data from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.
I appreciate you doing the backup and keeping them safe. Although you can wipe your computer, I'll go over some specifics to help you wipe your computer securely.
Your computer holds personal and business information. You’ll want to uninstall your QuickBooks Desktop first. This won’t delete your company files from your PC but remove the application.
Here’s how:
- Open the Windows Start menu. Search for “Control Panel”, then open Control Panel.
- Select Programs and Features or Uninstall a Program.
- From the list of programs, select your version of QuickBooks Desktop you want to uninstall.
- Select Uninstall/Change and then Remove. Select Next. If you don’t see this option, sign out and sign back in to Windows as an admin (or a user with admin rights).
