You can make accounts as granular as you want. For example, in a system I'm
working on right now to reconcile Amazon purchases I'm going to have one
account per invoice. In another part of my personal system I have one
account per paper check or billpay that we issue, like this:
2020-07-13 * Landscapes Inc.
Expenses:Landscaping $100.00
Liabilities:Checks:Bank Name:Account Name:1056
2020-07-15 * Check paid
Liabilities:Checks:Bank Name:Account Name:1056 $100.00
Assets:Bank Name:Account Name
I don't believe there's a way in ledger-cli to delete accounts, but if they
have zero balance then they won't show up by default in balance reports.
