Sorry! I should have mentioned that it usually occurs when I "accidently" hit
the enter key and have to go back and correct the entry, removing Orphan-USD.
As I started to enter this, I realized that another occasional instance can
occur when I duplicate an entry then try to remove a blank

Adrien,
And the reason I missed it is that the menu item is 'Remove Other Splits'
and the Other was ambiguous to me. I like the right-click solution. :-)
Carpe weekend,

Interesting and thanks for the info. I’d think that is a bug.
I’m curious how the General Journal decides which split is the anchor or if it
always choose the first one, or chooses at random.

Geert,
Good to know. I looked at all menus (except Business) and missed that
function.
Happy holidays,

Rich,
You should be able to take one of several options:
1) Right click the split for the cash-back and choose ‘Delete Split’
2) Click in the first cell of the cash-back split, highlight the contents
(likely the memo is the first cell with info) and click the delete key on your
keyboard. Then
I think this thread appeared before but I don't have a saved solution. What
surprises me is that I cannot find how to unsplit a transaction in the Guide
or from a Web search.
On occasion I'll use my debit card in the supermarket and get additional
cash back to save a trip to a bank branch's ATM.
Aha!
In File > Properties then, not Preferences.
I keep forgetting book properties even exist.
Thanks!

For larger businesses with EDP Auditors (do they still exist?) and regulations

Adrien, I thought there was also an option to turn on or off the blue line
in the register after today's date. I cannot find that either.

I could have sworn there was a simple (and easily defeat-able) locking
mechanism based on number of days that had passed, but I can’t seem to find the
preference.
Perhaps I was imagining things.
Regardless, if one wants to use correcting transactions, that is certainly
still doable, and there
I think we are mostly talking about removing errors in new transactions
before they are initially committed, not removing old errors. If every
sloppy keystroke or cat--track had to stay, we would never get anything
done.

I think it’s just a matter of whatever is the optimum workflow for the
situation.
Some of my auto-fill transaction details include 10 or more splits. It is much
easier to keep the anchor split and choose to ‘delete other splits’ than to
remove the other 9 one at a time. But If I only want to
It shouldn’t make a difference as long as you’re still deleting all of the
split information.
If it does behave differently by method (keyboard vs. mouse focus; menu,
toolbar, context menu, or delete/backspace) then that I think is a bug. All
methods should produce the same result for this
I had a bug filed on this lack of warning:

I don’t think I’ve tested it since. I’ll give it a go and see what happens.
Ideally, the check for lack of an anchoring split shouldn’t happen till the
It is not necessary to expand the transaction into split mode at all..
If you normally operate in non-split mode then just right click and
select Remove Other Splits.

David,
If you delete the split for the current register, there is nothing binding the
transaction to the current register, so of course it will "disappear" from this
register.

Derek,
That's what I tried before writing. I left only the credit and an expense
debit. When I saved the transaction it still showed 'split' and had empty
rows.
Or you can expand and right click -> remove
Sometimes a new transaction for a previous payee copies the split transfer,
but the current transaction is not split. Searching the guide and help
manuals for 'unsplit' finds nothing. I think there was a long ago thread on
unsplitting a transaction but I have no record of that here.
