Question

I deleted duplicate entries in my checking account register. The deleted transactions disappear but reappear later. How do I make the deletions permanent?

I can help you sort this out, @dthompson1.

 

Let's first remove the duplicate transactions from your register. Once completed, we can exclude and delete it from the Banking page since the duplicates.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the Banking menu.
  2. Select the Banking tab.
  3. Choose the account where the transactions are recorded.
  4. Pick the Reviewed tab.
  5. Search for the duplicate transactions.
  6. Mark the duplicate ones.
  7. Click on Undo

Once completed, let's mark the transactions as Excluded. From here, you can now permanently delete the duplicate transactions.

 

Here's how:

  1. Click the Banking menu.
  2. Choose the Banking tab.
  3. Go to the For Review tab.
  4. Select all duplicate transactions.
  5. Click Batch actions, then select Exclude Selected.

  6. Go to the Excluded tab.

  8. Click Batch actions, then click Delete.

This happened to me too. I don't understand why "delete" isn't delete??? One moment I'm perfectly reconciled, the next I am -11,362.00 off---all the deleted transactions repopulated; scattered all through 2020.

 

You're killing me here.

 

On further investigation it seems that you can't delete something downloaded from the bank. Is that right? That instead of a simple "delete" to make the books accurate, some convoluted shenanigans are required via "excluded."

 

Gosh I hope I'm wrong here, and that this makes more sense than this.
