Question

How can I delete multiple transactions that are already in the register? (Not excluding transactions before they get added to the register)

Only thing I see is how to delete transactions before they are in the register. I need to delete the ones are already added to the register. Also, even when I delete them one by one, they are still there when I reconcile.

This problem was submitted to the product team back in 2018.  As of today 1/9/2021 is this an option?  It appears as if it is not.  I want to delete old transactions that were imported from 2013 to 2018 that is messing up my financial statements.  How do I fix this to get rid of the balances that are carrying over?  Some of the balances are part of reconcile but in the old years not the current year of 2019 to 2020 which is what I want to reflect.  Help?

Hi there, @Itryon.

 

We don't receive updates from our developer team about the option of being able to delete multiple transactions in QuickBooks. For the time being, I recommend fixing your transactions by removing them one at a time. Or, you may look for a third-party application that supports the process from the marketplace.

 

Rest assured our engineers are working nonstop to deliver the best experiences for all QuickBooks users. Usually, new updates with QuickBooks are considered bases on the number of requests. Hopefully, they will consider the feature in one of the coming updates.

 

To stay current with the QuickBooks news and feature enhancements, I suggest visiting our blog site. Here's the link: Product Updates.

So if I delete these transactions one by one, how do I get them off my financial reports?  So of the transactions were reconciled in 2014, 2015 totals.

I found a wonderful solution to bypass this problem. 

Use a macro recorder, which is a program who replicates repetitive actions:

Then, after installing, open the program, press record, go delete a transaction (or whatever other actions you want to do), come back to the Macro Recorder, press stop. 

Then delete the "waiting time" so the actions could perform faster.
