# How to Delete Statements, Bank Books, and Reconciliation Sets?

Managing your bank reconciliation data sometimes means correcting mistakes - like removing an incorrectly uploaded statement, deleting an unused bank book, or clearing out reconciliation sets. 

Here’s how you can do this safely and efficiently:

# Deleting Incorrectly Uploaded Statements
 
If you’ve uploaded a bank statement by mistake, you can remove it - **as long as none of its transactions are linked to a bank book**.

* **How to Delete:**

Go to your **Bank Reconciliation** tab, click on the **"More"** options, and select **"Delete Statement"**:

|| If any transactions from the statement are already linked to a bank book, you’ll need to delete the Bank Book before deletion is allowed.

# Deleting Bank Books

You can delete a bank book, but **only if there are no reconciliation sets associated with it**.

* **How to Delete:**

Open the **Bank Book** page and click on the **"Delete Bank Book"** option:

|| If reconciliation sets exist under the bank book, you’ll need to delete those sets first.

# Deleting Reconciliation Sets

Reconciliation sets can be deleted, but **only if none of their entries are currently in the “Reconciled” state**.

* **How to Delete:**

Navigate to the **"Rescan"** dropdown and select **"Delete Reconciliation":**

|| If any entries are reconciled, you’ll be prompted to undo the reconciliation before you can delete the set.

#### **How Deletion Works**

* **Automatic Checks:**The system will automatically check for any linked or reconciled data before allowing deletion.
* **Clear Guidance:**If deletion isn’t possible, you’ll see a clear message explaining what needs to be unlinked or undone first.
* **Data Safety:** These checks are in place to ensure you never accidentally lose reconciled or important data.

That's it!
