How do I delete a file?

You can use these instructions to clear a return:

Here's how to clear and start over:
Sign in to TurboTax and open or continue your return, if you haven't already.
Select Tax Tools from the left menu, then Clear & Start Over.
Answer Yes to confirm.

You can clear it and then abandon TurboTax if you are not going to use it. There is no way to cancel your TurboTax account.

There is no "left menu"

- there is no "tax tools" 

and there is no "clear and start over"

Then you never signed onto the online account.

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

You have to delete the 2022 tax data file that is in your Documents directory and in the TurboTax folder.  The tax data file has a file extension of .tax2022.  The name of the file will have 2022 your First Initial and your last name then 1040 Individual Tax Return.  For example 2022 J Doe1040 Individual Tax Return
