Need to clear an asset account

SUGGESTED

I had a long term liability showing on my balance sheet that should not have been there. It was from our line of credit and showed a negative amount. I found out that it should be an asset, instead, since it is money we have access to, so I made that change. Now I need to remove it completely, as we are closing the line of credit. I marked the account as inactive, but it still shows as an asset on my balance sheet. 

How do I remove it completely? I'm not sure what the contra account would be.

Thank you!!

    We would advise you to speak with your CPA prior to making any adjusting entries to remove the balance from its existing account. Once your CPA advises you as to which G/L Account they want the adjusting entry posted to, you can make a General Journal Entry to effect both accounts.
