You can delete invoices from the Invoices page, accessible from the Sales menu. If there's a payment against the invoice, you'll need to delete the payment before deleting the invoice.

A deleted invoice is removed completely from MYOB Essentials.

Cancelling invoices

If you'd like to cancel an invoice without deleting it (to retain a record of the invoice), create a credit for the invoice amount, then apply the credit to the invoice.

This closes the invoice without affecting your account balances.

Can't delete an invoice?

If the Delete button is inactive, it means the invoice has a payment against it so can't be deleted. You'll first need to delete the payment (click the payment to view its details then click Delete).
