Deleting payroll accounts Dave D-C 03-03-2008

 I recently acquired QB Pro 2001 for my education.
I would like to start without the payroll accounts,
'Payroll Liabilities' and 'Payroll Expenses', but
when I try to delete them, I get
"This Account is used on a payroll item and cannot be deleted."
All accounts are zero balance.

Can I delete these? How? Tnx, Dave

Do what it is telling you to do, delete the payroll items.

Even if you delete the payroll items, if the accounts have ever been
used you cannot delete them. Make them inactive and you won't see
them.

Thank you for replying to my question Michelle.
They have never been used and I still can't delete them.
