Problems with Chart of Accounts Reports

[HeyLisa]

Some checks in my QB register were incorrect.

Though I tried first Edit, then Void, then Delete, they still show up in my Company, Chart of Accounts.

What correction do I need so that my Chart of Accounts reports correctly?

Thanks,

HeyLisa

What was incorrect about the checks and were they cancelled checks?

[HeyLisa]

After the checks were written, and printed, it was discovered they were for the wrong amount.

The paper checks were destroyed.

New entries were made, new checks printed, and distributed.

The old (incorrect) entires were still in the Quick Books check register.

First I tried to Edit them. No luck.

Then I tried to Void them. Still no luck.

Then I tried to Delete them. They are no longer on the QB check register, but they are still on the Company, Chart of Accounts.

HeyLisa, you shouldn't have any checks appearing in your Chart of Accounts at all. The checks should only appear in the Register for your Checking account. The only thing that appears in the COA is the name of the checking account itself, not the names of the people or companies you pay. You have set up some vendor as an "account" name instead of a Vendor Name. They are on the wrong list.
Go to Lists, Chart of Accounts, and click on the Account you are trying to Delete. Then click on the Account button on the bottom left and select Delete from the menu there.
