What you’ll accomplish

Remove an expense from Nestiva and understand what happens to a linked Money Account balance.

How to do it

  1. Open the transaction

    Find the expense in the current history filter and open it.

  2. Choose Delete

    Use the expense actions and confirm that you want to remove it.

  3. Review the month

    The transaction disappears from spending totals and its category budget.

  4. Check the account

    If it was linked, the deducted amount is returned to the Money Account.

Before you finish

Check that you are in the intended Personal or household workspace and review the saved result. Nestiva keeps each workspace separate so the same action can produce different records or settings depending on the active space.
