I inherited bookkeeping on a clients messy books.  Many vendors are duplicate or triplicate, with names automatically added from the downloaded transactions.  I love a nice, clean set of books and it bothers me to no end that you cannot delete transactionless vendors in QBO.  You are really not understanding the nature of the kind of people who get into bookkeeping if you don't make this an option for us.  Please consider adding this functionality to the next revision.
