How to delete multiple entries?

My bank register has over 600 entries dating back to 2013 (ten years ago) that were automatically added via Import Administration when converting to QB Online from QB Desktop. These entries are associated with an old bank account that has been closed for several years. I am not sure how/why QB added them to my new account; my only thought is that the two accounts had the same generic name "Operating Account".

I need to delete or void these entries, as they appear to be deposits and checks that were never cleared. How do I do this without going through each entry individually? I want to know how to delete or void multiple entries in a single command or action.

You can use a deleter tool.

As an additional option, use a backup restore app to lower any risks.

Hi accounts-zorbasb,

 

The past entries were included in the migration process because they are part of your records. Even if you've inactivated some bank accounts, as long as they have transactions, they are still part of your records and therefore be included when you migrate to QBO.

 

On the other hand, the only way to delete transactions is to go to each of them individually.

 

You may consider Fiat Lux-Asia's suggestions to remove the transactions that you don't need. However, please note that deleted transactions will also affect your reports, so you'll want to keep that in mind, too.

 

On the other that, we have Help Articles for QBO should you need some references in the future.

 

Let me know if you have more questions in mind. Thank care, and have a good one!
