Client received a number of deposits which, i believe, were deposited into a currently closed account. But the banking transaction was accepted into an open account. Thus, they were never reconciled away.

I have created a clearing account and move all of the transactions into it. I have 21 payments for a total of $655, all but one in 2019. 

Now I'm at a loss of what to do to zero the clearing account. These were payments on accounts. I can't just delete the payments because that would affect the balances on the accounts.

Need some ideas?
