  1. Select the Payroll Check in the Checkbook Register.
  2. Press and hold down the Shift key on the keyboard.
  3. While the Shift key is held down, click the Delete button with the RIGHT mouse button.
    (the Delete button is located in the upper-left area of the Checkbook screen)
  4. A message will appear asking "Are you sure that you want to delete? WARNING: Payroll Check". Click OK to delete the check.
  5. Re-Create/Re-Post the Payroll Check if needed.
