[Make] Deposits shows a spurious undeposited item

Using QB Pro 5. When I went to record the deposit for a couple of cheques I deposited at the bank today, the list of undeposited items included a payment that had already been deposited a month or so ago. There are no undeposited payments from that customer and the Undeposited Funds account balance is zero (after recording the deposit made today). I can't figure out why that spurious item is still in the list of undeposited items, nor how to appropriately remove it. I validated the data file and that found no errors.

The customer in question has only had two business transactions, one involving cash payment, the other payment by cheque (which was grouped with other undeposited funds and deposited the next week). That deposit appears in the registers correctly, as dose the cash receipt.

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

===================== Just to follow up with additional information, I realize now that the sale transaction that gave rise to the unrecognized deposit in question, was originally mis-entered with an item code for an asset account (Tools & Equipment-original Cost). While doing my taxes, I noticed the error and edited the sale transaction by entering the correct item (Consulting, a revenue item).

Further, I notice that the sale transaction is not marked reconciled in the Undeposited Funds account, even though the deposit of the attendant payment is reconciled. How do I go about correcting that reconcilliation?

Just to close off this problem, I deleted the deposit transaction (after printing details) then re-created it. That made the outstanding "ghost" payment disappear from the list of undeposited payments.
