Click anywhere in the split (line item) that you want to delete, then click the red slash-in-a-circle (Delete) icon in the toolbar. You get a confirming prompt which specifically mentions you're about to delete a split -- a single line item within a transaction. There's absolutely no need to delete any numbers first -- I've just verified this by trying it. (The confirming prompt contains a check box "Remember and don't ask me again." If you don't get the prompt, most likely you ticked that box at some point and forgot about it.) BTW, GnuCash won't let you delete a split that belongs to the account register you're working in. For example, if you have the "Yard Maintenance" account open and are editing a transaction in that account register, you can't delete a split identifying the Yard Maintenance account. You _can_ edit that split to identify a different account, and then delete it. If you do that, be sure to make all changes before pressing Enter, because the transaction will disappear from the "Yard Maintenance" register as soon as you do. Of course you can still find it in the account register for any of the remaining splits. -- Regards, Stan Brown Tompkins County, New York, USA http://BrownMath.com http://OakRoadSystems.com _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
