Deleting companies within Business Central is no longer a scary task. With the 2020 release wave 1 version 16.0 of Business Central, Microsoft made deleting a company even harder than it was before. Prior to version 16.0 when you deleted a company you were only asked once if you wanted to delete the company and once you said yes there was no going back. Now you have three prompts that you need to click yes on to delete the company. I'm sure Microsoft had many requests on how to restore an accidently deleted company which prompted for this change. If you do by chance delete a company on accident then Microsoft can restore using a point in time restore. So typically you find out when the company was deleted and they can restore up to 5 minutes before it was deleted, for example.

How I failed the first time It was October 2020 and my manager at the time dared me to take the Beta exam without studying to gage how hard it was. I can't turn down a good dare, so I scheduled the exam for October 20, 2020, and spent the days leading up to it reviewing the skills measured document provided by Microsoft. The day came and I felt pretty prepared to proceed with taking the exam. Because the exam was still in Beta I didn't find out until January 4, 2021, that I actually failed the exam. The passing score is 700 and I ended up with 615. Looking back at that experience I remember thinking the exam was hard and that some of the questions were written in such a way that was confusing and thinking that I'd never pass.
