Indeed, I wondered about that too. The file is compressed, so deleting 40% of it is unlikely to save anywhere close to a megabyte. And GC is peppy at opening and saving, so the shortened file is unlikely to open or save noticeably faster. An argument against doing the deletions is the need to create manual transactions for opening balances of assets, liabilities, and equities, as you noted. (I'm assuming the questioner's income and expenses have zero balances at the beginning of a year.)
