I can assist you in deleting a transaction that is associated with an account that is currently inactive, Joseph.

 

Before deleting the transaction, we need to reactivate the account the transaction is linked and then make the account inactive again.

 

Here's how to reactivate: 

  1. Go to Charts of Account.
  2. Click the Gear icon beside the print icon. 
  3. Select Include Inactive. 
  4. Click Make Active.
  5. Delete the transaction you wanted to delete.
  6. Make the account Inactive again. 

 

Please note that following these steps will enable you to delete the intended transaction.
