    Found the answer myself and I publish to all for future reference. Go to the MainAccountLegalEntity and delete all records referring to the company you want to delete.

    Hi Andrè,

       I have a very similar error "Legal entities cannot be deleted while dependent Main account legal entity exist. Delete dependent Main account legal entity and try again." but we deleted all reference we know about and we also emptied the ledger. Any idea? If I can delete the chart of accounts I should have the ability to delete the company. No transactions have been performed and we don't have the company in hierarchies.

    Any idea is very welcome

    Hi Hisham,

    You can find out the name of the table and then check if there are indeed records in this table which related to the legal entity you want to delete. You have to delete these records first. Test it in a test environment first.

    Hi Hisham,

    There is no change in this area compared to AX2012. To be sure, it is recommended to rebuild the balances.
