Deleting a quick addition before running create accounting, and calculate gains and losses

Hello,

Long story short, I have someone who (Instead of adding the cost of taxes directly on by going into the books) created a new asset through quick additions.

She then added it the way I told her to the first time, but then retired the asset.

She has yet to run create accounting, or Calculate gains and losses, so i'm just wondering if there is a way to just completely delete that asset before doing all of that? I tried going into books, and deleting it that way, but it says that we have to run the calculate process.
