Create a new account in the desired location, & then delete the old account.  When you attempt to delete it, there will be a prompt asking what to do with the transactions.  Select "Move to new account" (or similar verbiage), & then delete the account.

Just a thought - if you change the account parent away from A/R can you then
change the type?

HTH,
Maf.

No, unfortunately moving the parent account doesn't allow me to change it.

I think you misunderstood, or I'm not understanding what you did.  It
sounds like you attempted to edit the parent account and change it's
type.  What we are suggesting is that you edit the leaf account and
change who it's parent is so that it shows up underneath a different
(non-A/R) account.

Yes, I misunderstood, however, I just tried that and still can't
change the type. See attached image showing that the account is now in
Assets:Members but other types are still not available.

That seems like a bug to me.
