You may utilize the QuickBooks Void Check or Delete Check functions to cancel a check and reverse the amount deducted from your bank account. Voiding a check generates the most comprehensive record and is recommended for the majority of check reversal operations. Deleting a transaction implies that the transaction did not occur and should be used solely for small mistakes discovered before printing a check.
When the transaction has already occurred or you find the issue after printing the check, voiding it offers the most comprehensive record of your activities. Void a check, for example, if you printed it and learned the amount was erroneous, or if a pre-numbered check was used but is smeared and illegible. When you void a check, the payee, account, check number, date, and note remain identical, but the amount is reduced to zero. The check remains in the bank account record, but the note is changed to "VOID." Checks that have been voided can be reversed or restored to the original transaction.
When you delete a check, it and any associated information are deleted from the register. The procedure cannot be reversed, and there is no trace of the check's creation other than in the audit trail. Deleting a transaction is appropriate when, for example, a check is recorded twice or with the incorrect payee name.

Select Edit > void a check in quickbooks from the menu.
