Suggestion.

If you are about to do an import of transactions, make a back-up 
immediately prior to the import. After the import of transactions has 
been completed and any unresolved accounts corrected, closely examine 
for correctness.

If you have done this and find the import was a mistake (of the sort 
that was described) then you do not "delete the transactions" but simply 
revert to the state prior to the import (restore from back-up)
