Ability to delete locations

I made a mistake and added an extra location. I do not want it in my drop down selection boxes. I want to remove the extra location not just deactive it! I want it gone!

To be able to permanently delete a location

hi,

 

As a new user of Square I try out new features, I accidentally added a location because my first location had issues linking to google. It's frustrating to not be able to delete the location when I entered it as a sample location. I also don't have a physical location for my business so I don't want extra locations there because it creates confusion for bookkeeping purposes. There should be a feature to completely just delete the location. I know there is an inactive feature but I don't want to see the location there.

 

I have same issue with invoices too as I created a wrong invoice which was sent then cancelled and is unable to delete which again affects my financial statements. 

 

Square should be more flexible and allow users to learn and make mistakes and then delete it.

Re: How do I delete a location?

I am frustrated with the location option. I am the owner and some how I am listed as the location. Now I cannot see my inventory or update my inventory. I am afraid to deactivate location for myself because I am concerned I may lose everything. All I want to do is see my inventory and update it.

We used dispatch software that required a location to be set up for each employee, now we have a much simpler dispatch software and everyone is tied to one mobile location.  I have close to 20 inactive locations that still show up when doing scheduling and such forcing me to scroll endlessly each time and I would like them completely 100% gone and never there again, How do I do this without having to start an Entire New Square Account?

Sorry to you have to bear the headache of scrolling through unnecessary inactive locations, but there's no way to delete locations at the moment.

wow this is terrible and now I wish I didnt start in with this crappy squaure pos,  I have dummy locations that I cant delete and looks like I will never be able to just because my calendar timezone wasnt changing this is ridiculous

and yes you have to say which location you are commenting from which is just a big slap in the face

I only have 1 dummy location so this isn't worth me looking into, but Square may be able to create you a new account and transfer all of your data over so you can start fresh. 

 

But yes, Square! Please let us delete these dummy accounts!!!

Hi Kelly,

              My inactive location still show up in the shopping cart as a pick up option. which is confusing for my customers since it's not set up to make any purchases.

let us delete locations! This is ridiculous

PLEASE LET US DELETE LOCATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about you don't let us delete the locations but get inactive locations out of our hair. For instance, as many have noted, you need to select a location to add a comment. Why is it necessary to include inactive locations in that list? Keep them forever, but also, keep them out of the way.

Please please PLEASE allow other locations to be deleted!!!

Like I don’t understand why it needs to be stored when a store is no longer open/available. 
You can create backup system or something to be archived, or have a time limit to be deleted (just like some websites allow 30 days of storing after deleted)
