David - As an experienced Accountant and QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor, I would like to ask the QuickBooks Team to please stop advising people to make manual changes directly within the account registers, as this is not a best practice and not how the QBO application should be used.

This advise confuses small business owners, as they often will start doing their account reconciliations "manually" and "directly" within the account registers, and sometimes they start entering all their transactions in the registers manually like it was a checkbook, which can really mess things up in QBO. You will not have an actual reconciliation report when this is done.

The best practice is to use QBO the way it is intended to be used, to reconcile accounts the correct way, making sure that the beginning balances are correct for the next month. Once the deleted transactions are re-entered, they "automatically" pop-up to re-reconcile through the correct reconciliation process and then you will have an actual reconciliation report to reference.
