How to delete a bank transaction that was uploaded from bank account

Hello there, info,

Let me show you how you can delete the transactions uploaded from your bank account.

You need to exclude the uploaded transaction first before you can delete it in the system.

To exclude, here's how:

1. Go to the Banking menu, then choose the Banking tab.
2. Scroll down to select the For Review tab.
3. Select the checkboxes of the transactions to exclude.
4. Click the Batch actions drop-down button, then choose Exclude Selected. (Please refer to the screenshot below)

Once done, it will transfer on the Excluded tab for your reference. From there, you can select the transaction by putting a check mark beside it, then select Delete on the Batch actions button. (Please refer to the screenshot below)

For the detailed steps and further information about excluding a transaction in QuickBooks, you can check out this article: How to Exclude Expenses from Downloaded Bank Transactions.

That'll keep you going, info. Should you have further banking concerns, let me know by leaving a comment below. I'm just around if you need help. 

I'll help with your banking transactions, Angie.

Let's follow some troubleshooting steps to check if this is caused by a browser issue. 

Start by switching to an incognito/private browsing session and log back in to your account. Follow these keyboard shortcuts to quickly open and incognito session:

• Google Chrome Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla CTRL + SHIFT + P
• Microsoft Edge CTRL+SHIFT+P
• Safari Command-Shift-N 

Once done, exclude or delete the transactions. Then, click the Update button in the upper-right hand corner to test if they would no longer go back in the For Review tab.

If they're not showing up anymore, clear your browser's cache and temporary internet files. Follow the steps in this article for additional details: How do I clear my browser cache and temporary Internet files?.

Thanks for the suggestion -  it did not work.    But I was told there's an open investigation on this.  Possibly FI related??  (It does not happen with the 2 different company credit cards, only my 2 bank accts which are the same institution.)

Hi Angie Kosins.

Good to see you again! I take it that you're referring to my response to your reply from an earlier thread. 

I dug up the investigation case again and it doesn't specify what banks are affected. We'd like to work on this and prevent the issue from happening to other financial institutions. 

Since the Community is a public forum, I'm unable to access the needed information in your account (for update purposes). If you haven't already, I'd recommend contacting our phone support team. You can share your findings with them, and this will help hasten the progress for the resolution. 

Here's how:

1. Click the Help icon.
2. Hit the Contact Us button. 
3. Type "Additional details for the bank transaction issue on case INV-38920" in the box.
4. Click Let's talk. 
5. Select Start messaging or Get a callback. 

To reiterate the workaround, we can leave the transactions (from the two affected bank accounts) in the Excluded tab. When we have the fix, that's the time we'll delete them. Here's how: 

1. In the Banking page, click the Excluded tab. 
2. Check the transactions you want to delete. 
3. Click the Batch actions button, then select Delete. 

In the meantime, you can visit our general articles page to help you with other QuickBooks-related tasks. You can search for a specific topic, or click on the + More topics button to see our articles. 

I hope you'll have a wonderful day ahead. You can always visit our Community portal if you have concerns with QuickBooks Online. 

Hi there, I'd just like to know whether this method applies for all banks?

Hi SMoideen!

Yes, QuickBooks Online allows you to remove the unwanted downloaded transactions by excluding them and it applies to all banks. You can follow these steps:

1. Go to the Banking or Transactions menu, then select the Banking tab.
2. Select the For Review tab.
3. Check the boxes of the transactions to exclude.
4. Tap Exclude.

Once done, they'll be moved to the Excluded tab of the Banking page.

I've added a link you can check. This will show you how to review and categorise the downloaded bank transactions: Categorise and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

I can help you delete transactions from your account, @Kriti__19.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), we'll have to exclude the transaction first before we can delete it. I'll guide you how:

1. Go to the Banking menu, and then the Banking tab.

2. Choose the bank account, then go to the For Review tab.

3. Select the transactions you want to exclude.

4. Click Batch actions, then choose Excluded Selected.

Then, you can already delete them. Here's how:

1. Go to the Excluded tab.

2. Choose the transactions you want to delete.

3. Click Batch actions, then choose Delete.

4. You'll receive a message, "Are you sure? This transaction will not be recoverable.", click Yes.

I'm also linking an article for further guidance: Exclude expenses from downloaded bank transactions.

You can also see this link about categorizing your bank transactions in QBO for reference: Assign, categorize, edit, and add your downloaded banking transactions.
