They remain forever. (There was a decent explanation as to why recently on IRC - the short of it is that deleting them cleanly is simply too messy with the current code.)

My workflow in such cases is to change their ID to 'use next'. You can either create a dummy vendor/customer for them as well, or just leave them as-is since you can re-assign the vendor/customer before posting.

When I want to start a new bill/invoice, I do a find for 'use next' IDs, but that is pretty rare now as I just duplicate a previous document and edit from there. (and I don't think I have any 'use next' documents left anyway.)

Regards,
Adrien

A different track....
In my hasty entering / importing of Invoices and Bill I find that some of them 
are duplicates, or not needed.
I can make them "disappear" by un-posting and clicking the delete button, but 
where do they go?
Does GnuCash automatically purge the trash? If not, how do I clean it up?
Thanks for the help,
Eric
