Why delete an account that's only going to get created again?
1. So you know when something needs attention.
2. Make you more careful to not let the account be created in the first
place.

I’m a fairly naive user, but I find the Imbalance-XXX and Orphan-XXX accounts
(at top level in my CoA) extremely useful, and I understand why they are there.
If I ever see a balance, I know I have to fix something, which is a good reason
to have them at the top. I can’t comment on any changes that might have
occurred in the behaviour of these accounts recently. However, in respect of
the tidiness of the CoA, one possible solution is to create a special case for
these accounts, such that they only display in the CoA listing when they have a
non-zero balance.

Why not simply delete the Imbalance and Orphan accounts when you’ve sorted out
the problem and zeroed their contents - they’ll be created automatically if
required.
