Is there any reason why not just simply rename account and then re-parent the account to where you actually want the transaction to show in the account list rather than delete the account and move the transactions during delete?
Well -- the person is having a general problem so I thought not to comment on that. But yes, I can't see a good reason to DELETE an obsolete bank account (balance now zero). I would think, if examining old transaction that were against this account, you'd want to be able to do that. Just "hide" it if you don't want it to take up visible space in your CoA.
HOWEVER -- what somebody just said might explain why I have never encountered the problem. Type "bank", type "cash", etc. LOL, being from the old days I wouldn't be using things like that. For example, under Assets I would have children "current assets", "investments", "fixed assets", etc. Under "current assets" I would have "cash" and all current "bank accounts << I'm here, savings accounts are "current assets" >> The point is that ALL of these accounts, placeholding parents and children would be of fundamental type asset.
So if THIS is what is causing the problem, subtypes offered by gnucash that have no meaning in old fashioned bookkeeping, I would not have experienced the problem.
