I have a fixed asset account for an automobile with subaccounts for the

at this point has a zero balance as the vehicle is fully depreciated.
You don't delete it (it would indeed mess up all those transactions)
It's no longer needed, balance is zero, just HIDE it. Do note that if
you dispose of this fully depreciated asset for a gain, you will have a
capital gain to record that transaction << but that wouldn't involve
this account >>
