I don't know specifically other than there are some issues with 'libraries' on some systems. I've used the SQLite back-end on Linux and currently use it on Mac with no effort. Windows takes some work regardless of choice if I understand correctly. However, if you already have MySQL installed,

First, Welcome to GnuCash! As with most issues, but particularly with crashes, can you provide the version of GnuCash you are using and the Operating System? Now, for some additional detail questions: 1. Did the account you were trying delete contain transactions? If not, was it set as a 'p
