<p>I strongly advise against deleting accounts. Deleting an account also deletes all of the history within that account. This also will affect non-deleted accounts, as any transfers between those accounts will also be deleted. Before deleting any accounts, please make a full backup of your data file (File -> Export Backup), as there's no way to undo these actions.</p>
<p>If the issue is that they are just clutter, you could instead take various actions to hide them from active view. Open the account register, go to Account -> Edit Account from the menu bar, and choose to mark the account as Inactive, and to hide it from the Summary window if the balance is zero. Repeat for additional accounts. This will hide it from most places in the program. You can also right click on the account in the left sidebar, and choose to remove it from the sidebar. Combined, the only place these accounts would then be visible is in the Tools -> Accounts window, should you need to access the data again.</p>
<p>Please let me know if I can be of further assistance,</p>
