For audit reasons, printed invoices and customers linked to an invoice cannot be deleted – that is a basic principle of proper invoicing. An invoice can only be removed while it is still a draft. Customers can be set to inactive afterwards, which removes them from the selection lists.

If you are just starting out and have only run a few tests, you can reset the database completely:

In the app: Settings → Backup → Show in Finder
Quit the app
In the Finder, rename the file swawi.sqlite, for example to swawi.sqlite.old1
Start the app again

On the first launch after renaming, SWawi automatically creates a new, empty database and the setup assistant opens again.

Tip: The old file can stay on as a test database. Just rename the two files as needed to switch between real and test data.

Important: Once you have issued real invoices, this route is no longer advisable. From then on the normal rule applies: cancel an invoice rather than delete it.
