You can not remove an item ledger entry, and the correct way is to reverse it. Here is a post for reference

You need to reverse it using the item journal. Create an entry that's the exact opposite.

Unfortunately, You cannot delete an Item Leger Entry after posting it, but you can reverse it. In this case, if you posted a purchase, it will add inventory, so you can use Negative Adjustment as the Entry type and remove the inventory from the system. Make sure you use the same location you have used for purchase.

Hello,

You can not Delete the Wrong Item Ledger Entry and it is Not Suggestable also. You need to Reverse the Same.

Another thorough approach is to restore the database.

If you only published this erroneous detail during this period, you can restore it.

Hello,

You cannot delete an Item Leger Entry after posting it.

In case you have incorrect Item entries you have to reverse the entry by posting a Negative Adjustment.

While processing Negative adjustment you are also able to associate it to the entry you have initially posted.

Here is an article that might be useful: Count, adjust, and reclassify inventory - Business Central | Microsoft Learn

Kind regards,
