How do I delete a RULE in banking transactions and restore my bank transactions to the originals?

Thank you for reaching out to the Community, Carol. To delete a bank rule in QuickBooks Online, go to the Bank Transactions section and select the option labeled Rules. Let me guide you through the steps.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Bank transactions, then choose Rules.
2. Select the bank rule you want to delete, then click the dropdown arrow next to Edit.
3. Select Delete, and read the confirmation message before confirming by clicking Yes.

Moreover, there are two possible scenarios to fix your bank transactions:

First, if the Auto-add feature is disabled for the transactions in the bank rule you created, deleting the bank rule will automatically fix the issue.

Deleting the rule will automatically remove the suggested category.

Second, if you have set up a bank rule with the Auto-add option enabled, any transactions affected by that rule will automatically transfer to the Categorized tab. Even if the bank rules are deleted, the transaction will remain in the Categorized tab. To remove it, you'll need to manually exclude the transaction.

Please refer to this article on deleting a bank rule: Set up bank rules to categorize online banking transactions in QuickBooks Online.
