Greetings, Iringo.

 

Deleting a recurring transaction in QuickBooks Online will not affect previous months' transactions that had this particular transaction. When you delete a recurring transaction, it only removes the future instances of that transaction without altering any historical data.

 

However deleting a recurring transaction that has already been recorded for the current month, will also delete the associated regular transaction. Always consider the impact of deleting a recurring transaction on your finances before proceeding. Seek advice from a certified accountant if you have any concerns or doubts.
