# How do I reset my opening balances in Zoho Books?

To reset your opening balances in Zoho Books, the amounts in **Opening Stock** for items, **Accounts Receivable**, and **Accounts Payables** accounts must be removed manually.

*   To remove amounts from the **Accounts Receivable** account, [export the customers](/in/books/help/contacts/other-actions.html#export-contacts), manually edit the export file, and change the _Opening Balance_ to **0**. Once done, [re-import them](/in/books/help/contacts/#import) into Zoho Books, and set the _Duplicate Handling_ as **Overwrite**. Ensure that the Opening Balance field is mapped when you import customers. Similarly, you can remove the opening balance of your vendors and items.

Once done, you can delete the Opening Balance recorded in Zoho Books. Here’s how:

*   Go to **Settings**.
*   Select **Opening Balances** under _Setup & Configurations_.
*   In the _Opening Balances_ page, click the **Delete** icon at the top of the page.

The opening balances will be deleted.
