# Remove a statement

Removing a statement deletes it and every transaction it brought in. Use it to undo an upload into the wrong account or a statement that was read badly.

## When to remove a statement

Remove a statement when:

- you uploaded it into the wrong account;
- it was read so badly that re-uploading a clearer copy is faster than fixing it line by line;
- a new file was refused because it repeats transactions from an earlier statement, and you want to replace the earlier one.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important:** Removing a statement permanently removes its transactions from the register, including any categories you set on them. It can't be undone. To bring the transactions back, upload the statement again.
{% endhint %}

## Remove a statement

1. In the left navigation, click **Banks & Cards** and select the account.
2. On the register, click the **⋮** menu (**Account actions**), then **Remove a statement…**.
3. The list shows the statements uploaded into this account, newest first, with each file name and its number of transactions. Click **Remove…** next to the one you want to remove.

4. Read the confirmation. It names the statement and how many transactions will be removed. Click **Remove**.

When it's done, ZeraBooks shows "Statement removed · N transactions" and the register updates.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<details>
<summary>Can I undo removing a statement?</summary>

No. The statement and its transactions are gone. Upload the statement again to bring the transactions back; ZeraBooks categorizes them again as it imports them.
</details>

<details>
<summary>Can I remove a single transaction instead of the whole statement?</summary>

Not from Banks & Cards. To correct one line, open the month in Reconciliations, switch to **Edit** and use **Remove row** or **Edit row**. See [Fix a month that doesn't tie](https://www.zerabooks.com/help/reconciliations/fix-a-month-that-doesnt-tie).
</details>

<details>
<summary>Why does the list say "No statements uploaded yet"?</summary>

No statement has been uploaded into the account you selected. Transactions you recorded by hand aren't statements and don't appear in this list.
</details>

<details>
<summary>What happens to reconciliation after I remove a statement?</summary>

The month loses its statement, so it no longer shows as tied. Upload the correct statement to check the month again.
