How to delete an entire uploaded file of duplicate transactions?

Accounting software lacks a way to batch delete an entire upload once new items mix with original ones under pending. This leaves people unable to simply undo a file, forcing them to spend an unreasonable amount of time manually verifying a full year of duplicate sales receipts and deposits.

I know there is the bulk reclass tool to remove the duplicates but I’m not sure if i should check every single sales receipt and deposit to make sure they all got duplicated as this would take along time or just check a few and then remove the duplicates.source ↗

It’s a whole year of deposits. This would take absolutely too long that’s why I’m using the bulk reclass toolsource ↗

Is there any way to delete my entire upload in bulk? The problem is that now my uploaded transactions are mixed in with his original transactions under Pending, so I can’t just select everything and delete it.source ↗

I really wish there were a way to simply undo or delete the file I uploaded. 😩source ↗
