Follow the steps below to remove a QuickBooks Desktop connection from the QuickBooks Web Connector.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open QuickBooks Desktop with the correct company file">
    1. Open QuickBooks Desktop.
    2. Open the company file associated with the connection you want to remove.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the QuickBooks Web Connector">
    In the top menu bar of QuickBooks Desktop, click "**File**" → "**App Management**" → "**Update Web Services**" to launch the QuickBooks Web Connector.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Remove the connection">
    In the Web Connector window that opens, click the "**Remove**" button next to the connection you want to disconnect.

    When the confirmation dialog appears, click "**Yes**" to confirm the removal.

    <Note>
      If for some reason you are unable to successfully remove the connection, you can alternatively just uncheck the "Auto-Run" box. This will also disable the connection so it won't run automatically.
