Hi, @larcatcentennial. It's advisable to exclude the transaction rather than delete it to prevent its re-download and subsequent addition to your ledger.
Please note that if you delete a transaction, QuickBooks recognizes it as unrecorded and will automatically download it again from your bank. Given your familiarity with deleting bank transactions, you will find it straightforward to exclude them instead.
For more information on whether to exclude or delete data from your bank, please refer to this guide: Exclude a bank transaction you downloaded into QuickBooks Online.
