Deletion in nouz is a one-way operation — there's no soft-delete, no trash folder, no undo toast. The two-step confirm dialog is the only safety net. Most owners never need to delete an entry; an edit is almost always the better choice.
01 How to delete
- 1Open the entry
Revenue or Expenses tab, click the row.
- 2Scroll to the bottom of the side panel
There's a small red Delete button.
- 3Confirm in the dialog
A second click to make sure you mean it.
- 4Gone
The entry is removed. P&L recomputes immediately.
02 There's no undo
Once you confirm, the entry is hard-deleted from the database. There's no soft-delete, no trash folder, no five-second undo toast. If you genuinely need it back, you'll have to re-enter it from your Z-report.
03 When to edit instead
Most "delete this entry" intents are actually "fix this entry". If the cash amount is wrong, edit it — don't delete and re-create. Edits are easier to reason about later than gaps in your data, and they preserve the entry's timestamps and audit trail.
Genuine reasons to delete (rare): a duplicate entry created by accident, a test entry from your first day exploring the app. Almost everything else is better as an edit.
04 Downstream consequences
Deleting an entry triggers:
- Day P&L recomputes immediately. The day's totals drop by the deleted amount.
- Week / month / year totals update on next load.
- Statistics re-evaluates next time the tab loads. The deleted day's data is no longer in any insight.
- Revenue cap YTD drops if the deleted entry was revenue. Practical impact: if you were close to your plan cap, deleting buys you headroom (but probably not the right reason to delete).
