Elmar, Perhaps a strategy to try when you find a transaction in an account you are reconciling which does not belong in that account is to change the split to the account you are reconciling to the Imbalance account rather than deleting the transaction. This allows you to complete the

Elmar, True, but if you have been keeping backups you can open a backup file simultaneously with your data file, find the eroneously deleted transaction, copy it [Transaction > Copy], return to the main file and paste it back in [Transaction > Paste Transaction]. I do this a few times each year

I bet the ability to  have a few levels of "undo" is on the desired enhancements list, no?  I certainly have cursed a few times when I hit delete by mistake. - Elmar On 1/30/19 12:00 PM, gnucash-user-requ...@gnucash.org wrote: Message: 9 Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2019 12:17:20 + From: Colin Law
