Yes, you can delete the deposit and clear the associated payments. However, when deleting a reconciled deposit, it'll cause a great impact on your account. It'll surely become out of balance. Your transactions for a specific month won't be intact and will show that they aren't matched with your bank statement. In this case, it would be best to consult your accountant before doing this one. This is to make sure your books are accurate and monitor your deposits accordingly.
If your accountant recommended you do it, you'll have to open your account register and perform the process from there. To remove the payment from the deposit, just follow the steps below:
- Select the Gear icon in the right corner.
- Under Your Company, choose Chart of Accounts.
- Find the deposit account, and in the Action column, click View register.
- Locate the deposit amount and whether it has a letter "R" in the Reconcile box.
- Go to the deposit, then Edit. This will give you the list of sales receipts and payments connected to the deposit.
- Remove the checkmark from the incorrect payment or sales receipt. This will remove the transactions from the deposit.
- Pick Save & Close, then Yes confirm your changes.
