Delete bank transactions

You can delete most bank transactions, including cleared transactions and reconciled transactions.

There are some exceptions:

• You can't delete reconciled bank transfers or deposits. Instead, find out how to reverse the bank transfer or deposit
• You can't delete transactions included in a draft or submitted VAT Return. Instead, find out how to correct transactions included on a VAT Return

When you delete a transaction, Sage Accounting removes it from your bank account and updates your balance. 

When you delete a reconciled transaction:

• It shows as Removed from reconciliation
• Sage Accounting updates the starting balance for your next reconciliation
• Sage Accounting doesn't change the reconciled balance

This behaviour keeps your reconciliation history accurate while reflecting the correction.
