# entries.delete.preview

Before deleting a transaction, read everything tied to it by id: its bank lines (and whether each can be excluded with it), the receipts and company email it came from, a reimbursement claim, its trip, splits, tags and open questions, the default for each choice, and anything that blocks deleting it (a closed period, a Stripe record, the book record of a synced Wise movement, an approved or paid reimbursement). A deleted transaction returns who deleted it, when and why. Finance access required.
