Hi, I admit I have not used the function, but my recollection is that it only lets you roll it up into a parent account -- so if you want to choose a specific account you need to re-parent the account-to-be-deleted under the account you want to move the transactions into, and then when you delete it you should be able to choose the new parent.
I'll note that I have not tried to verify this belief, so YMMV. -derek On Mon, June 3, 2024 7:43 am, Mark at Lorimark wrote: > I'm curious what your account tree looks like. > > I just tried to delete an account, and it only shows a couple of my > other asset accounts.
