In my case I did not create an invoice. I clicked in the second column "Type" and it changed to "I". After that the transaction was locked. Assumptions are usually wrong on my part but I'm guessing there would be no invoice to un-post? Just took a quick look in a test file and see if I use Duplicate Transaction the Type is clear in the new one, the old one can be deleted and running reconcile in the credit card works as expected.

Might be worth repeating, I am a new user so might be missing an easier way to reset.
