I know how important it is for you to make some of these accounts inactive, B-Music-school.

The error will only occur if the account has a transaction that is linked to an inactive account. Deleting transactions is not necessary, unless you've already consulted your accountant for an advise about this. You can view this article for more information: Error - This transaction will cause a deleted account named (name of account) (deleted) to have non-....

Before we can delete the account that has the error, we'll want to review the transactions. This is to determine what account has been made inactive that causes the error.

1. Go to the Chart of Accounts page.
2. Look for the account that has the error and click View register.
3. Click a transaction to see the details.
4. Select More at the bottom of the transaction page.
5. Select Transaction journal.
6. Take note of the inactive account.
7. Repeat Steps 2-6 for other transactions under the account you want to delete.

Once you've got the inactive accounts, we'll want to activate them temporarily.

1. Go to the Chart of Accounts page.
2. Click the small gear icon above the ACTION column.
3. Mark (✔) the Include inactive box.
4. Look for the accounts that need to be activated.

After that, make sure the transactions will not be associated to account. You can update or delete it if necessary.

Again, I'd recommend reaching out to your accountant to determine what to do with the associated transactions.

You can continue making the accounts inactive once you've taken cared of the transactions.
