While you can't delete an Invoice/Bill, you can reuse them.

When I end up in such a situation, I change the document ID to "Use 
Next" so I can find it easily, and then simply edit it as needed before 
posting.

I've been using GNUCash for a couple of years now, and my approaches and preferences to entering the data has changed. I don't want to continually have the old data there and a nagging desire to waste my time and go back and edit it to fit my current way of handling the data. I also don't like the way scrapped invoices and bills aren't ever really deleted either, kind of hanging around like ghosts.

I inevitably end up with edits I need to make to my records and save another pending post to this forum a fresh start with corrected opening balances is an easy way of achieving these corrections.
