Reconciliation Error

This is somewhat confusing so I hope I can explain this well!  In July I wrote a check for $200.00.  On August 20th, a check cleared our checking account for $200.00.  It was downloaded into QBO and it linked this check to the $200 check I wrote.  I did not realize it was a different check number (it came through very strange so I thought it was a glitch).  Well the check I wrote in July just cleared our bank account!!  It was then that I went to our online banking to see if the check cleared twice.  It was then that I noticed that the check that cleared August 20th was a bank error and it wasn't even our check that cleared.  The issue is, I have already done the August bank reconciliation.  Now that the real check has cleared (the bank is researching and fixing the incorrect check right now) how do I enter it into QBO?  Do I remove the "R" from the check in the register?  Do I delete the check and start over?  We should be getting a $200 credit to our account so do I just make note of it and leave it?

Just leave it and when the bank deposits $200 enter that as a deposit using the Other Income account as the source account for the deposit.  When you recon, check off the weird 200 check against the deposit entry
