Hello Ben,
In addition to Lynda's answer, here's how you can view the deposit payment for the said invoice:
1. Open the affected invoice.
2. There are two tabs on the right-panel of the Create Invoices window.
3. Go to the Transaction tab.
4. Under RELATED TRANSACTIONS, it will show the deposit you use as the payment.
5. Click the deposit transaction. It will open the Make Deposits window.
6. Click Edit at the top menu, and select Delete Deposit (Ctrl + D).
7. Click OK to confirm the action.
After deleting the deposit, it will open the invoice again.
I'll be around if you need more assistance with this.
Good evening @BenTam:
Get the Customer payment window open on the screen. On the top toolbar you should see a delete button. Now if you get a warning saying you must delete it from the deposit first, you will need to delete the payment from the deposit first, save and close. Then Delete the payment.
i hope that helps, if not, feel free to ask more questions.

Thanks for your reply.
I follow your way and get the message "You need to delete this payment from the deposit before you can delete the transaction itself..." However I fail in finding the deposit record for this payment.
Could show me how to see the deposit record for such payment?

Hi James,
After pushing the [Delete] button, I got the following message. It shows two options: [OK] & [Cancel]. Will I have "unpaid balances" if I choose [OK]?
This payment has been used to pay invoices/statement charges. Deleting it will cause the invoices/statement charges to have unpaid balances. Do you want to delete it anyway?
Hello again, Ben.
Yes, clicking the OK option will delete the deposit. Thus, making the invoice open again.
Let me know if you need anything else.
James, thanks for your reply.
What if the payment is not listed on Payments that you have received and I do not have an invoice for this payment.. Only listed in the Deposit Icon at the top of Quickbooks
Thanks for joining the thread, brickclnr.
Do you want to make the payment as credit for the customer's future invoices? Or you want to delete it?
I'll be around to further assist you.
So I have followed everyones directions on how to delete a payment but it is doing absolutely nothing. I am not even sure how my quickbooks is EVEN making a "payment" because I am doing things correctly. I even called and they said they couldn't help. If a payment is so old after you have balanced for the month, are you just stuck with a credit?
Send help!! I've been trying to fix this for months and can't get anywhere. :'(
Hello, @alisabuckland.
You can remove a payment from the Undeposited Funds account. The payment no longer appears in the Payments to Deposit window when you make deposits.
Here's how:
For additional reference about depositing payments into the Undeposited Funds account in QuickBooks Desktop, check out this article.

Is this for the online version? I'm in the affected invoice but do not see a transactions tab. The payment I need to delete effected 3 invoices do I need to delete the payment one by one?
The steps shared in this thread is for QuickBooks Deskrop, Sstoro.
Also, you only need to delete one payment if it was applied to the 3 transactions. Then, the invoices will automatically be opened again.
Let me share the steps on you how can do this in the online version. Here's how:
Please take note that deleting a transaction in QuickBooks Online can not be undone.
You'll also want to run the Invoices and Received Payments report. It lists all payments you’ve received and the invoices that go with them. Just go to the Reports menu and type in Invoices and Received Payments in the search bar.
Let me know if you need more help while working in QuickBooks Online. I'd be glad to get back here and offer my assistance again.
When I click More from they payment and hit delete it sends me an error message
"Somethings not quite right!
This transaction has been deposited. If you want to change or delete it, you must edit the deposit it appears on and remove first."
Thanks for getting back to us, @Sstoro.
Before deleting the payment transaction, we'll need to remove it first from the deposit account.
Here's how:
You can identify if the transaction was already reconciled if it has the letter R in the Reconciliation box before making changes. Make sure you add it back in order not to encounter any errors the next time you reconcile.
I'm also adding here some resources that you can check out about managing sales transactions in QBO for future reference:

I know how beneficial it is to your business to bath delete the invoice payments. However, this option is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). What we can do is to open per invoice to delete them. Let me show you how:
You can also run the Invoices and Received Payments report to view the list of your paid invoices. Simply go to Reports and search for Invoices and Received Payments. As we assess this opportunity, I recommend visiting these blogs for any upcoming QuickBooks updates and enhancements:

Hello,
First, thank you for your help everyone. The issue I am having is, I have two payments of the same amount that has been applied to 1 invoice. I believe the reason why this happened was because the person who entered the payment believed an invoice didn't exist and didn't believe the client was in quickbooks so she created a new client but spelled their name slightly differently, she then applied the payment but later this was merged with the original client record. I can't seem to find out how to delete the payment. I've tried everything in this thread and it still says "payment must be deleted". How can I find this payment to delete it? Thank you for your help with this.

Thank you for your response Mary. I'm actually using QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2020. I had 2 payments of the exact same amount going to the same exact invoice deposited. I was successful in deleting one payment following the directions in this thread. However, it now shows the invoice as unpaid even though I have a payment made towards it. I want to delete this payment since it is not reflecting towards the invoice. I looked under "undeposited funds" and there is nothing there. How can I delete this payment? Thank you in advance.
I'm here to share additional information to help you delete your duplicate payments, @Andrew93.
Let's start by making sure that your QuickBooks software is updated to the latest version. Here's how:
Once completed, let's close and reopen QuickBooks Desktop to make sure that all components are updated. Now, let's run your Transaction List by Customer report. This is to review if the other invoice payment is still applied to the invoice.
On the other hand, you can delete all the payments that have been made then re-apply and deposit them. Let's delete the deposit first so we can completely delete the invoice payments. Here's how:
Now, you can re-apply the invoice payments and deposit them. You can read through this article for more detailed instructions: Record an invoice payment.

Thank you for your response. After following your instructions, deleting that deposit makes a number appear over the "Record Deposits" button. Please see the attached for reference. Then from there, I clicked the "customers" shortcut button on the far left and found the customer. I found the payment and double clicked on it and it opened up the "customer payment" function. I clicked on the "delete" button on the top but it still says "you need to delete this payment from the deposit before you can delete the transaction itself, or edit its name or amount". What did I do wrong? Thank you again for any help you may be able to provide.
Hello there, @Andrew93.
Thanks for following the steps. In addition to IamjuvViel's answer, you'll need to delete the deposit payment for the invoice.
Here's how:
Once deleted, you can go to the Undeposited Funds account on the Chart of Accounts. Deleting deposits with payments that are deposited under the Undeposited Funds will make it available to the Payments to Deposit window. Then delete the payment transaction manually from there.
These tracks will help remove the deposit as well as the payment transaction.
For additional insights about depositing payments into the Undeposited Funds account in QuickBooks Desktop, check out this article.

Thank you for your response. I opened the invoice but there was no payment to it, but the payment to that invoice still shows.
This screenshot above shows payment but when I go into the invoice, it shows as the invoice not being paid. I have to delete a bunch of these as the person who entered these payments did so somehow even though they were already paid. That's why i'm trying to learn how to delete it and I will apply it to the rest of these and re-enter them.
Please note that there is nothing in "related transactions" on the right.
However, that payment is no longer in my "payments to deposit" window anymore. What do I need to do from here to remove it from the "Customer Information" window under the "transactions" tab? Thank you for your help with this.
