Thanks for joining the thread, safproductions. I see what you mean about the 4-step process resulting in some lost time. Your time is valuable, and QBO is here to make your life easier, not harder.
In regards to deleting transactions from the reconcile page, if you're referring to the bank feed, you can "exclude" transactions in batch when they're uploaded from your bank's website. It's unclear if this is where you're looking to remove the transactions from, but that's an option you can explore further here: Exclude expenses from downloaded bank transactions.
I think having the option to delete transactions in batches from the register would be helpful as well. I'd recommend submitting your feedback about this to our team for review by clicking the Gear icon > Feedback.
Have a great day.
