I have seen this issue crop up with so many of my clients. The frequent complaint seems to be that even if they follow all the steps, unlink the online banking then inactivate the account, they are still left with the transactions showing up in their reports. I have my clients use the following procedure.
1. Reactivate the account but do not relink it to online banking.
2. Go into the bank feeds screen and click on the categorized tab.
3. Using the check box on the left, check every transaction and then undo them all. This will put them back into the bank feed to be categorized.
4. At this point, you are able to check all the boxes on the left and exclude all the transactions.
By doing this you will eliminate the need for a journal entry, and the transactions will no longer show up in reports.
I hope this works well for you all!
