Thank you for your prompt response and for keeping us updated, @SMBakerBooks.

 

I'll share some inputs about condensing QuickBooks Desktop data. This way, I can guide you accordingly. 

 

Yes, there is a way to remove the transactions, but we rarely advise our customers. This way, we can ensure that their data remains accurate after condensing. In this case, I'd suggest continuing the condensing process and letting the system remove any unnecessary data from your company file. It also minimizes the risk of data damage.

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the File menu. 
  2. Select Utilities and then Condense Data.
  3. Pick the options you need in the wizard window. 
  4. Here is a list of transactions and list entries you will be asked to choose to remove during Condense:

        5. Click Begin Condense.

 

Please read this article to learn more about condensing, its drawbacks, how it works, and what to do before, during, and after the process: Use the Condense Data utility.

 

But, if you want to remove specific transactions, you can use a third-party app such as Fiat Lux - ASIA mentioned above. To search for an app, visit our QuickBooks Desktop Apps store.

 

Moreover, check out the following articles below on how to clean up the data damage in your company file and other related matters:

 

 

Let me know if you have follow-up questions about managing your company file. I'm always here to guide you to finish your task as soon as possible, @SMBakerBooks. Keep safe.
