# How to clear empty auto batches from the pending status area?

## Problem

Sometimes, auto batches are generated with no transactions but still show up in the pending status area. They cannot be deleted but can be cleared from this area. To clear them from the pending status area, you need to bypass the batches.

## Solution

1. On the navigation bar, click **Accounting**.
2. In the side panel, click **Batch/Export Transactions**.
3. Identify an empty auto batch you want to clear and select it from the dropdown.
4. If the batch hasn't been posted yet, select **Post the selected batch** from the dropdown.
5. Click the dropdown again and select **Bypass export**.
6. The status for that batch should change to *Exported*.
7. Repeat steps 3-5 for additional batches.

By following these steps, you can clean up your pending status area by bypassing empty auto batches.
