That is true, but not the reason GnuCash doesn't offer the facility to
delete them. (you could edit and change the invoice number, as a work
around)
Maybe Derek can shed light on the code reasoning. I vaguely recall it
being discussed a few years ago, but I long since lost that thread.
Since I don't need an auditable trail, I just re-use errant
invoices/bills either assigning them to another customer/vendor and/or
changing the details like date and number.
When I end up in this case but can't re-use just yet, I change the
invoice number to "USE NEXT" and then I try to remember to do a Find
Invoice on that phrase next time I need one.

Adrien

Deleting invoices are not allowed as per law in many states. The reason is the
tax authorities prefer to see your continous running invoice numbers. i think
this came from the tax authorities to avoid any errors/frauds. Again with
newer connected tax systems where invoices are transmitted to Tax authorities,
it is impossible to delete the same.
So the best way to negate an invoice is to issue a credit note and close it, so
you will have a trail to show.
