Open tQSL
Select File ->Display or Modify Preferences
Select the ADIF Modes tab
Select each temporary mapping (e.g., FAX -> DATA, FT8 -> DATA, etc.)
     and click Delete

If you had temporary mode mappings and/or used a custom mode, you *will*
want to upload all the QSOs that contained custom modes to LotW again. 
If you do not upload using the correct mode, any confirmations will be
good for DXCC (DATA) and VUCC (mixed mode only) but the confirmations
can not be used for WAS mode specific (e.g., FT8, JT65, KT9, etc.)
endorsements.

73,
