Beginning balance is off after deleting a previously reconciled transaction

After deleting 2 duplicate transactions my "beginning balance" is off by the amount of those 2 transactions. However I do not want to recreate the transactions as they were duplicates. The bank balance and quickbooks balance will be off by the amount of those 2 transactions if I re-enter them, but I am getting an error on quickbooks end when I go to reconcile. "Your account isn't ready to reconcile yet (your beginning balance is off by xxxx.xx) 

 

How can I resolve this issue without re-entering incorrect / duplicate transactions?

Try opening the bank register from the chart of accounts, then scroll and look for an entry that says START, see if you can edit it and change the number
