How do I delete a check that I have already voided?

Hi there, @cghowell. I'm here to ensure you can re-enter the check.

Can you share with us the error message you're getting when recreating the check? Deleting it only takes a few steps.

Here's how:

1. Go to Expenses.
2. On the Expenses tab, select Filter.
3. In the Type field, select Check.
4. Select the date range in which the check was received and select Apply.
5. Select the check to void from the Expense Transactions list to open it in the Check screen.
6. Select More, and select Delete from the pop-up menu.
7. When prompted, select Yes to confirm you want to delete the check.

You can check out our guide for your reference: Void or Delete a Check.

If you need to recreate the check, you can use the Audit log to recover some details.

This report helps you keep track of added, deleted, and modified transactions, as well as user entries. It allows you to see the history of changes made to individual transactions or a range of multiple transactions. It can be customized by using the Filter tool to narrow down the data. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon.
2. Choose Audit Log.
3. From the Filter drop-down, choose the appropriate User, Date, and Events filter.
4. Click Apply.
5. Locate the deleted transaction.
   1. Use the browser search.
   2. Press Ctrl + F on your keyboard.
   3. Enter a keyword about the deleted invoice.
6. Under the History column, click View.
7. All the information needed for the transaction can be found under the EVENT column.
