Deleting complete multi-split transactions would, of course, change running

Gio,
In GnuCash you cannot delete split lines without throwing the transaction
out of balance. Hence, you need to replace the undesired account with a
different account. If you want to delete every instance of an expense A
and replace it with expense B you can do that in the account tree by
First, I would ask, “Why do you want to delete these transactions?” and second,

You don’t need to ‘find’ transactions from an expense account to delete them.
Just open the expense account if you want to delete

Try the Transaction Report. It has the ability to sort by Month.
Run the report for just one expense account to start with to get a handle on

Simple fix. Close GNUCash. Use File Explorer to navigate to your GC data
