Inactive bank account showing on Jan balance sheet, but not on Feb balance sheet - how to get rid of it.

Here's an overview of my situation:

1. I manually imported bank checking account transactions as my client hadn't connected bank feeds yet. 

2. Afterwards, I connected the bank checking account to the bank feeds in QBO. There are now 2 checking accounts in QBO - the same checking account: one manually created, the other automatically created via the bank feed connection. 

3. I deleted the manually important bank transactions and made the manually created bank account inactive. 

4. When running a balance sheet report for January, the inactive, manually created bank account shows up with "(deleted)" next to it with a balance of $8,259.38.

5. Running a balance sheet for February does not show the deleted/inactive account.

6. The Opening Balance Equity account shows:

Question: How do I get the deleted account from showing up in the January balance sheet? Is it because I didn't move out the opening balance to retained earnings? This is for an S-corp. Thank you.
