How to delete transactions?

Hi email,

 

I'd be happy to assist you with this.

 

Please bear in mind that deleting a transaction is irreversible. Nevertheless, here's how to delete a transaction:

  1. Find the transactions you want to delete, and open them one at a time.
  2. At the bottom of the page, click More.
  3. Choose Delete.
  4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

You can also read this article for more information: Void or Delete an Invoice or Other Transactions.

 

Let me know if this helps, or if you have any other questions.

 

Warm regards,
Jian

Having found the transaction, I've opened it.  However, there is no visible indication of "More" for me to click on.  What's the alternative?

There is no "More" at the bottom of the page. Any other suggestions? For now I have excluded the transactions but I would prefer them to be completely removed.

Hello, everyone.

 

It seems like you're trying to delete a downloaded transaction. I will walk you through with the steps. 

 

First, you'll have to exclude them. Here's how:

  1. Click Banking, then go to Banking.
  2. Choose the bank account, then go to the For Review tab.
  3. Choose the transactions you want to exclude.
  4. Click Batch actions, then choose Excluded Selected.

Then, you can already delete them. Here's how:

  1. Go to the Excluded tab.
  2. Choose the transactions you want to delete.
  3. Click Batch actions, then choose Delete.
  4. You'll receive a message, "Are you sure? This transaction will not be recoverable.", click Yes.

Feel free to let us know if you have other concerns. Have a nice day!

Hi delete a transaction,

 

Under the Banking section, you'll have the For Review, Reviewed, and Excluded tabs.Banking.PNG

 

If these options aren't showing up, then let's open your QBO account using an incognito window. This to rule out the possibility of a webpage issue.

 

You can refer to these shortcut keys:

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + P for Internet Explorer or Firefox.
  • Press Ctrl Shift N for Chrome.
  • Hold down Command Shift N for Safari.

If it works, I suggest clearing the cache of your regular browser. Then, you can now follow the steps above.

 

I'm also linking an article for further guidance: Exclude expenses from downloaded bank transactions.

 

Just in case you're encountering any banking issues, refer to this link: What to do if bank transactions won’t download.

 

Let me know if you have any other concerns. I'm always here to lend a hand and help you further. Have a good day.

How to delete transactions?

I posted January 2020 condo billing dues twice.  This was of course a mistake.  Is there any way to delete all 70 at one time or do I have to go into each owner account and delete on owner at a time?

Thanks for joining this thread, WSW.

 

If those transactions are posted in your bank feeds, you can batch delete them.  This way, you won't have to remove each entry.

 

Here's how;

  1. Go to Banking from the left navigation bar.
  2. Select the account where you post those transactions.
  3. Go to the Reviewed tab.
  4. Locate and mark the transactions you've added, then click Undo.

  5. They're posted back to the For Review tab.
  6. Locate and mark them.
  7. Click the Batch actions drop-down, then select Excluded Selected.

  8. Go to the Excluded tab, then pick Delete.

If that's not the case, you can delete each transaction through the register. Let me show you how:

  1. Click the Gear icon at the right top, then choose Chart of Accounts.
  2. Locate the account, then click View register under ACTION.
  3. Click the entry you want to remove, then select Delete.
  4. Choose Yes to confirm.

You can also refer to this article, Exclude expenses from downloaded bank transactions to learn more about the process above. 

 

Let me know if you have follow-up questions, and I'm glad to help you out.

How to delete transactions?

Hi.  I have several transfers that are also listed as expenses (but seem to act like transfers).   So, these transfers are being double counted.   When I delete the "Expense", it comes back after I close and then reopen Quickbooks Online.   Any idea why this would be the case?    Thanks

Good day, @ccraig-stemania.

 

To get this issue sorted out, we can try accessing your QuickBooks using a private window. This is to help determine if your browser cache can be the reason behind this behavior.

 

You may use either of the following shortcut keys:

  • Google Chrome, press CTRL  Shift N
  • Mozilla Firefox: press CTRL  Shift P
  • Internet Explorer: press CTRL  Shift P
  • Safari: press Command Shift N

From there, you may exclude those duplicate transactions again.

 

If it works fine, you can go back to your previous browser and clear the cache. Sometimes the cache becomes corrupted with older data, which can affect views and performance in QBO. This article will walk you through the steps: How do I clear my browser cache and temporary Internet files? 

 

You can also see this link about categorizing your bank transactions in QBO for reference: Assign, categorize, edit, and add your downloaded banking transactions.

 

I'd also like to know what is the specific financial are you working with? Any further details are much appreciated, so I can check if there's an ongoing investigation with your bank.

 

I'll be right here to assist you if you need anything else. Just leave a reply below, and I'll get back to you. Take care!

How do you delete a transaction on Quickbooks Desktop for Mac?

AlexV
QuickBooks Team

How to delete transactions?

I'm here to assist you, taytumb.

 

When deleting a transaction, simply open or select the transaction and click on Delete on your keyboard. You can also press Command + D as a shortcut. Just a heads up, we're unable to undo once we successfully deleted it.

 

In addition, make sure that you haven't reconciled your account. It's because deleting a transaction can affect your beginning balance.

 

Please post again if you need more assistance. Have a great day!

Hi, Ecodoug. 

 

Can you please confirm what specific product are you using?

 

If you're using QuickBooks Online Desktop App for MAC, then you can reset app data, uninstall then reinstall the app.

 

In addition, QuickBooks Online Windows and Mac desktop apps are no longer supported as of April 20, 2021. Due to limited use, we stopped supporting these apps to invest in other functionality that matters to you.

 

You can continue to use the apps as long as your browser supports them. However, you will no longer be able to download, receive customer support, or receive software updates.

 

 Once your browser no longer supports your app, we recommend accessing QuickBooks Online through your preferred browser by signing in at qbo.intuit.com

 

Please bear in mind that deleting a transaction is irreversible. Nevertheless, here's how to delete a transaction:

  1. Find the transactions you want to delete, and open them one at a time.
  2. At the bottom of the page, click More.
  3. Choose Delete.
  4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

 

For your reference, please see this article: QuickBooks Online Mac and Windows Desktop App update.

 

I also encourage you to visit our QuickBooks Blog website for more product enhancements and updates.

 

As always, feel free to post here again if you have any other QuickBooks-related concerns. I'll be right here to lend a helping hand. Take care always.

The above mentioned will "delete" in chart of accounts list, but it does not delete it from transaction list in "bookkeeping" under "for review" section. 

 

Can you please tell us how to delete a transaction completely out of Quickbooks?

How to delete transactions?

Welcome to the Community, @mc3332. I've got here some steps to help you completely delete the transaction in QuickBooks. 

 

To delete the transactions in the For review section of your bank account, you'll have to Exclude them first. Let me guide you on how:

 

  1. Navigate to the Bookkeeping menu.
  2. From the Transactions page, select the bank account where the transaction you want to delete is located.
  3. Then, select the For review tab.
  4. Check the box of the transaction you want to delete and select the Exclude option.
  5. Once done, go to the Excluded tab.
  6. Next, check the box of the transaction and choose Delete.

 

Please visit this article for reference about the process: Exclude a bank transaction you downloaded into QuickBooks Online.

 

For manually added entries, you simply need to open the transaction form, click the More option located at the bottom, and choose Delete. This will completely erase the data in your books. Check out this link for more details: Void or delete transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

The program also allows you to create rules to speed up the review process. This will automatically categorize the downloaded transactions into the correct accounts. 

 

Please post again here if you have any other concerns about deleting transactions in QuickBooks. I want to ensure you'll be able to do this smoothly. Have a good day ahead.
