This sounds like a good solution for your situation.
I recommend the complementary idea: saving a copy of your active book as
a test book, doing experiments in that test book to see how things
actually work, then deleting the test book, and redoing the actual
transactions in the active book. It is only a little time and effort to
make a test book, and it can save you having to undo mistakes in the
active book.

I think I have a plan: I will just start the whole year over. I only
had a few transactions entered, so I'll copy the chart of accounts to
a new file and start anew. :)

I'm just getting started entering in 2022 data. I made some mistakes
in using Accounts Payable and Credit Cards. The amounts in those
accounts are accurate, but only because I deleted erroneously posted
transactions. However, I have two vendors which show "prepayment"
amounts when I do a vendor report.
Is there a way to manually change that data?
Since I only have one transaction entered for each of those vendors,
and I'm just getting started, I would not be opposed to just deleting
those vendors and their associated bills (invoices) and starting over
(now that I better understand how AP and Credit Cards work. Is it
possible to delete all transactions related to a vendor and then
delete the vendor? How?
Or maybe I could somehow enter in a "debit memo" for the vendor
(i.e., another bill) that would zero out the amount now listed as
prepayment. But then how would I "pay" it such that the prepayment is
applied to it?
Thank you for helping me correct my newbie errors!
