In Quick books online, I am trying to delete a deposit in the "undeposited funds" register. I keep getting the message "This transaction has been deposited. If you want to change or delete it, you must edit the deposit it appears on and remove it first."
I also went to the general ledger to delete the deposit item and keep getting the same message.
How do I delete the deposit?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Good day, I am here.
It seems that this payment is linked to a downloaded transaction on your banking. This is the reason why we're unable to delete it. We need to unlink it first from your banking before we delete it. You can follow these steps:
Once done, you can now delete the deposit transaction on your register. Also, you can exclude the downloaded transaction if you don't want to show it on your Banking. From the For Review tab, find and check the transaction, then select Exclude Selected on the Batch actions drop-down.
I've also added this article if you need a reference in handling bank transactions: Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.
I'll be glad to assist if you need anything else. Have a great day!
Let me give you some insights about deleting a deposit, @I am here.
It seems like you're trying to delete the invoice/sales receipt from the Undeposited Funds instead of the deposit.
The error message occurs when you’re attempting to delete an invoice/sales receipt transaction with a deposit attached to it. You'll need to select the Deposit to delete it.
Here’s how to delete a deposit:
Once done, all the payments in that deposit return into Undeposited Funds.
Then, you can change the account where you deposited the invoice payment and sales receipt. Just open the transaction and select an account from the Deposit to drop-down list.
You can also run the Deposit Detail report. This report shows all your deposits, with the date, customer or vendor, and amount.
Here's how:

Ok. I just tried deleting the entry 30 minutes later, and it seems to work now.

Hello there, @I am here!
Ideally, the deposits in your undeposited funds are associated with the deposits in your bank account. If you wish to delete them, we'll have to delete the deposit directly from your bank account register.
In addition, here's an article you can read to learn more about how you can review your transaction in your bank register: Find, review, and edit transactions in account registers.
