   Hi Aaron, appreciate the suggestion. This is best placed in the community feature requests as it is not API related: https://community.xero.com/business/topic/23/

   I can tell you that any full accounting system needs a complete audit trail – that is why deleting is not an option but reversing/undoing is in Xero.

   I get where you’re coming from—sync errors can be incredibly frustrating, especially when the source system is more accurate. Having proper permissions or support-level controls would really help maintain data integrity and trust. In similar situations, I’ve found that reviewing related public data like Michigan Court Records at https://wayne-county-court.org can offer useful context on how permanent records are typically handled. Hopefully future updates will include more flexible controls for edge cases like this.
