How to delete ledger in tally?

Ledger is the book where the transaction related to a particular account is recorded. For example, the Sales ledger will only record the transactions related to sales.

Ledgers in Tally also serve the same purpose. Posting in the ledger is automatically done when the transactions are entered in the vouchers.

Now, if you want to delete a ledger, you can easily do by following some simple steps.

I have shared the steps of deleting a ledger in Tally Prime and Tally ERP 9 both.

Deleting a ledger in Tally Prime 

To delete a ledger in Tally Prime, the steps are as follows:

Gateway of Tally → Alter → Ledger → Click on the ledger you want to delete.

Upon clicking the ledger, the ledger alteration menu will open.

At the bottom, there is a ‘Delete’ option. Either click on it or simply press Alt + D and click on ‘Yes’. Your ledger will be deleted.

Deleting a ledger in Tally ERP 9 

To delete a ledger in Tally ERP 9, the steps are as follows:

Gateway of Tally → Accounts Info → Ledger → Alter → Select the ledger you want to delete.

Steps are almost similar in both versions of Tally. Little difference is there due to the different interfaces of the two versions.

Just like Tally Prime, you can click on the ‘Delete’ option at the bottom or press Alt + D to delete the ledger.
