How do I delete an expense/check transaction that should have been a revenue transaction?

To delete an expense or check transaction in QuickBooks Online (QBO), hollysatran, I’ll guide you through the steps so your books stay accurate and up to date. 

Deleting a check or an expense completely removes it from your financial records. This can help avoid errors in your profit and loss statements and bank reconciliations. However, before you delete the expense, make sure the transaction is not linked to other records, such as bills or payments. Additionally, confirm that removing it won’t affect your audit trail.

Here's how to delete the check expense :

1. Go to the Expenses menu and navigate to the Expenses tab.
2. Select the Filter button and scroll down to find the Check or expense.
3. Look for the Check or expenses you created.
4. Under the Action column, next to the View/Edit option, click the dropdown arrow and select Delete.
5. Hit the Delete key for confirmation.
