"Delete Unlinked’ and the Alt+W button used to 'Delete All Unlinked’ appears on the button bar
above the Info panel.
Now-a-days, ¢-Banking is enabled for many banks and the option to Import and View Bank
Statements will get enabled only if these banks are predefined for auto reconciliation while creating
or altering the Bank ledger.
In order to ensure proper import of data in supported format to reconcile the data present in
the bank statement and the organisation's books of accounts, the bank statements should be
downloaded and saved in a separate folder. If the savings accounts and current accounts are
maintained in multiple banks, then the downloaded bank statements have to be saved in separate
folders.
