That error is only when the Funding Model is recorded as 35 or 38, and you haven't recorded a full funding indicator. If you want to unfund something, you have to record the Funding Model as 99, Major Funding Source as 998, and FFI as blank.
If they started in 25/26, and the LARS code was just an admin error, why are you reporting it in the ILR? You should just not report that at all, and the correct aim would have the original start date. It's only a transfer if they really did start on A then change to B.
Wendy Kay Yes you can delete! We regularly report an aim in one ILR, and just not record it in the next, it's a completely normal thing to do. DfE aren't comparing your R01 with your R02 and checking what has disappeared. PSM Data Management Principle 1 says:
Principle 1: The ILR must accurately describe the provision delivered to each learner
The data you record on the ILR must accurately reflect the journey for the learner and what has happened. Inaccurate information must never be entered even where it is perceived that this would result in a more equitable claim for funding or accurate record of performance.
If no learning is delivered for a learner, then no learning should be recorded on the ILR.
For example, if a learner withdraws without attending the first class, then this learner is not included on the ILR.You must not record this on the ILR with a Completion status of ‘withdrawn’.
That includes after you already returned it in an ILR believing it to have started (we know that teaching teams aren't always good at telling us about no-shows in a timely way). If you include it with the same start and end date, you're saying that they attended one day. The only way to represent that the aim never started, is to remove it from the ILR. There's an exception for things you found never happened in a year which is now closed, which is covered here.

Two 2025/26 learners were added to an incorrect LARs code and have been withdrawn with code 40 as they have been re-entered with the correct LARs code with the same subcontractor. In previous years I have added 99 Non funded in the FFI section for this kind of issue. This is now creating the above error so have to add full funding which means we may receive duplicate funding for the same period of learning. Has anyone else seen this issue and do you know how I can clear the error.
