Article summary

When running the End-of-The-Year closing utility, I accidentally closed this year's date creating G/L accounts for next year. Now I have G/L accounts for next year, which I don't need.

Steps To Duplicate:
Go to File Maintenance > General Ledger > End-of-Year Closing
Select the Year Being Closed (in this case, the wrong year).
Click OK.
Answer:
If you've created G/l accounts for a future year and there has been no activity on them, you can use the G/L Account Mass Add/Delete Utility. (Click the link for more information on how to use the tool).

In the General Ledger module, select File Maintenance > G/L Account Mass Add / Delete. The G/L Account Mass Add / Delete

Be very careful when selecting which accounts to delete. It's always best to test in your test and learn Database.
