<p>You should only delete an account if it is completely empty. Otherwise it will also delete all of the transactions within the account, including any transfers to and from that account. If you think you want to do this, I strongly recommend you make a manual backup of your data before doing this, since it can't be reversed (File -> Export Backup). Then you can delete the account from Tools -> Accounts.</p>
<p>If the account is simply inactive, it's easier to just mark it as such. Open the account register, and go to Account -> Edit Account from the menu bar. From there, mark the account as Inactive, and to hide it from the Summary screen. If it is still in your left sidebar, right-click on it there, and choose to remove it. It will always be listed in Tools -> Accounts, but this will hide the account from almost everywhere else in the program.</p>
