How do we delete a direct journal entry from a regular deposit when another was budget checked?

A user created a Regular Deposit with 4 Direct Journal items. The user created the accounting entries for item 1 and budget checked it to "Valid", and realized item 2 was not a journal direct item and wants/needs to delete it from the deposit. Because one item was budget checked , the system grayed out the Complete field and doesn't allow us to flag the processed item as incomplete. When we try to delete item 2 from the deposit, the system advises we can't since it was partially applied, and if it is a direct journal, flag it as incomplete.
