S/O Invoice Batch Delete

SOLVED

In a test company our # of SO's is getting large and I would like to delete most of them.  When I go to run the utility a message comes up that orders can't be deleted when S/O Invoice data entry is in progress.  So, I am trying to delete the batches and then I receive this message, "This batch will be retained because deleted entries exist".  Whats the best way to get past this message to delete all these S/O's?
