Workflows: How to Bulk Delete Transactions Using Transformation Tool
Introduction
While importing transactions, you may find a time where something went awry and you need to delete all of the transactions you just imported. Instead of deleting them from the transaction listing screen, you can use the transformation tool to preform a bulk delete of these transactions. It is important to note that when you are deleting transactions, you need to be mindful that you are permanently removing data from your database that will not be able to be restored and the deletion of transactions should be done with caution.
