I have been able to batch delete bank transactions in the past. So I’m currently finishing tax year 2024-2025 and find I can’t batch delete all transactions prior to 1 July 2024, as I could in the past. So the previous transactions are adding into the year I’m working on. The link on the bottom shows ‘batch view’ to select, but no way to delete. I’m on Win 11, current release, updated today hoping it would work. Anyone got any idea on this? And yes I know how late I am with this.
No idea whether this applies to your situation, but as far as I can tell Batch Delete only works on the Receipts, Payments, Inter Account Transfer and Journal Entries views, not on any view for a specific bank for instance. There I only see Batch View. My solution was to go through each of the four mentioned views, and batch delete them there.
There could be many reasons for this.
The most likely reason is that you have a lock date in place. This lock prevents deletion and updates to accounting records. See this guide for more detail:
Alternaively, these records have been referred to in other records, e.g. a Payment referring to an Invoice, etc. In this case, the selection box for some transactions would be grayed out and disabled.
Yet another possible cause is that you might have exceeded some limit to the number of records, similar to this bug report:
I don’t have enough information to say what was the cause in your case, so please full screen screenshots of each step you took to do your Batch Delete operation.
I ended up deleting one by one, each transaction, it worked, everything magically balanced. Thankyou Ealfardan and Jeroen1 for your assistance, much appreciated.
