I’ve twice now seen the advice to delete the account as a bulk move operation.
Yes, that does work.
However, this appears to be a parent account.
Can a parent account be safely deleted without affecting the sub accounts?
I guess I could try, just for kicks, (since I’m not the one needing to move
transactions) but my initial suspicion is —that way lies a mess.
Did you read what I wrote? The process?
YES, you would want to first make this account NOT be the parent of its
children. Once you have given them a different parent, they will no
longer be the children of the account you want to delete.
Create a new placeholder account. Edit each child account so that this
account is now its parent. THEN delete the account that had been the
parent.
