Serious reconciling problem after deleting an reconciled transaction

I had a transaction that was listed as $28.50. I reconciled it in the
previous month. However, it was actually incorrect so I deleted it and
entered $2850.00 instead (that is, I deleted a reconciled
transaction). Now I can't reconcile my statement because my starting
balance is incorrect and it won't allow me to edit the starting
balance in the reconcile window. Additionally, I have no way of
putting the $28.50 transaction back and setting it to reconcile 'y'
since the UI won't allow me to change it that way. I wish I had never
deleted it and gotten myself into this pickle.

How is the starting balance computed and how can I fix this? Thank you.
