When reconciling my bank account there are old items, when I try to delete I receive a message stating they have been reconciled. If recon. then why are they showing?

I'm here to help you with your reconciliation, @Wnoce.

You can check your bank register and filter the Reconcile status to show the reconciled transactions. Thay way, we can verify if the transactions are already reconciled.

Here's how:

1. Go to Accounting from the left menu.
2. Select Chart of Accounts.
3. Locate your account. 
4. Click View register from the Action column.
5. Tick the Filter icon. 
6. Choose Reconciled in the Reconcile status drop-down. 
7. Set the date range. 
8. Hit Apply. 

 It also displays how the Square icon indicates whether your transactions are added or matched in the account's bank feeds. 

Also, you can pull up the reconciliation report and verify if those transactions are already reconciled. The reconciliation report is useful if you have trouble reconciling the following month and when you meet with your accountant. Let me show you how:

1. Go to Business overview, and select Reports (Take me there).
2. Type Reconciliation Report in the Find report by name search bar.
3. Select Reconciliation Reports.
4. Select the Account for the reconciliation report you want to view.
5. From the Report period drop-down arrow, choose the reconcile period.
6. Select View Report.

I found the item, but on the bank register is it showing as a deposit and on the bank reconciliation it is showing as a check.  I have attached snips to show what I am talking about
