However ...... learning how to properly correct something like this
should be on your agenda. In the not distant future you are likely to be
faced with something like this when you have many transactions already
entered (and so would not want to have to be re-starting from scratch)
Precisely because you are now in a good position in that regard (could
easily re-start from scratch) it would also be a good time to try to fix
it. If you can;t get the fix right, can always revert to starting over
(and so putting off learning how to fix till later). Up to you.

PS --- Your problem might have originated with HOW you earlier tried to
":fix" by DELETING transactions as opposed to having entered correcting
transactions. Think back to the old days of pen and ink on paper in
bound books. Never "deleted" anything once entered but fixed mistakes by
an off setting transaction.

a new file and start anew. :)

I'm just getting started entering in 2022 data. I made some mistakes
in using Accounts Payable and Credit Cards. The amounts in those
accounts are accurate, but only because I deleted erroneously posted
transactions. However, I have two vendors which show "prepayment"
amounts when I do a vendor report.
Is there a way to manually change that data?
Since I only have one transaction entered for each of those vendors,
and I'm just getting started, I would not be opposed to just deleting
those vendors and their associated bills (invoices) and starting over
(now that I better understand how AP and Credit Cards work. Is it
possible to delete all transactions related to a vendor and then
delete the vendor? How?
Or maybe I could somehow enter in a "debit memo" for the vendor
(i.e., another bill) that would zero out the amount now listed as
prepayment. But then how would I "pay" it such that the prepayment is
applied to it?
Thank you for helping me correct my newbie errors!
