how to delete an entry in bank reconciliation

Hello there, Lia. In QuickBooks, the process for removing an entry depends on whether you are currently in the middle of a reconciliation or if it has already been finalized.

To remove a duplicate or incorrect entry during reconciliation, navigate to All apps > Accounting > Chart of Accounts, select View register for the specific bank account, and click the transaction to select Edit. From there, click More > Delete and confirm.
 

However, if a transaction is already finalized and marked with an R (Reconciled), deleting it can disrupt your next opening balance. Instead, find it in the register and click the R in the checkmark column until the box is blank or shows a C as cleared, then click Save.

This manually unreconciled the entry, allowing you to handle it without impacting your historical data.
 

Please note that to keep your historical data accurate, we recommend consulting with your accountant if you find you need to adjust a full reconciliation period. They can help ensure your books stay perfectly and aligned.
