Sorry to break this to you after the fact, but GnuCash could have moved all 
those transactions for you in a second or two.

In the future:

1. Create new account
2. Delete old account
3. When GnuCash asks you what to do with all those transactions, tell it the 
new account to move them to.


Regards,
Adrien
