I'll lend you a hand in deleting your remaining transactions for this year in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), sduttonusa.

Beforehand, did you get an error notification while trying to batch-delete your transactions? If so, it's because if you have transactions linked to employee data, those transactions can't be batch deleted. Please know that they can only be manually removed.

To manually erase employee transactions, kindly refer to the steps below:

Open the QBDT company file.
Go to the Employees menu and select Employee Center.
Press the Transactions tab and click each transaction type to access the data under them.
On the Date dropdown, choose All. Then, double-click each data.
Tap on Delete, and then hit OK to confirm the deletion.

Alternatively, you may use the condense data to remove your transactions at once. Take note that you'll have to change the date and year of your computer to a future one first as the program doesn't allow removing of payroll transaction dated in the current year. Once done, follow these steps:

Go to File, then select Utilities.
Choose Condense Data, then select Remove the transactions you select from your company file.
Hit Next and select the transactions you’d like to remove, then select Next.
Follow the on-screen instructions and answer prompts.
Select Begin Condense, then wait for the process to complete and hit Close.

Additionally, you may use your backup company file to restore your company data in QBDT whenever your device encounters problems or needs to undo recent changes. I'll leave this article as your reference: Restore a backup of your company file.
