Deleting Transactions

Learn how to remove transactions from your records

Deleting a transaction permanently removes it from your records and adjusts your account balance accordingly. Use this feature carefully as deletions cannot be undone.

1

Locate the Transaction

On the Transactions page, find the transaction you want to delete. You can use filters to narrow down the list if needed.

2

Open Transaction Actions

Click the three-dot menu icon (â‹®) in the Actions column of the transaction row. This opens a dropdown menu with available actions.

3

Select Delete Option

From the dropdown menu, click the "Delete" option. The transaction will be immediately deleted from your records.

⚠️ Note

Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Make sure you're deleting the correct transaction.

4

Balance Adjustment

After deletion, your account balance is automatically adjusted:

  • Deleted Expense: Your account balance increases (as if the expense never happened)
  • Deleted Income: Your account balance decreases (as if the income never happened)
  • Deleted Transfer: Both accounts are adjusted accordingly
5

Confirmation Notification

You'll see a success notification confirming the transaction has been deleted. The transaction will no longer appear in your transaction list or affect your reports.

When to Delete vs. Edit

Consider these guidelines:

  • Delete: Duplicate transactions, test entries, or transactions entered by mistake
  • Edit: Correct typos, update categories, or change descriptions
  • Set to Cancelled: For transactions that were attempted but didn't complete

Important Note

Guest accounts cannot delete transactions. If you're using a guest account, you'll see a notification explaining this limitation. Create a full account to enable all features including transaction deletion.
