Looks to me like a straightforward message: the file is not there.
That's not a GnuCash problem. The file was there at one time -- we know
that because it's in the history list. But since then it ha

How can you not agree that an option that says "delete transactions" and
doesn't in fact delete transactions isn't a bug?
Your argument doesn't address that, it argues that the fix for that bug should
be to remove the "delete transactions" option should be removed. But that
wouldn't sol

John,
for the 1st time, I have to disagree with you. If you delete the transactions
when you delete an account it is not only an accounting issue, but will
seriously mess up your other accounts. Say there are debits (deposits) and
credits (withdrawals) from your checking account. If the accou
Yeah, it's a bug. It's supposed to delete the transactions, not just the splits
in that account only to recreate them in an imbalance account. Otherwise it's
the same as the move to account option.
The fact that it's poor accounting practice is beside the point. If the user

Sorry, Peter I should have sent to the list no just to you.
Did you approach the line from the left, because that is the only way to expand
the column by dragging? If you did and the Deposit or Debit column expanded

Let's not to discuss whether it's a good idea or not to delete an
account that contains transactions. It's a valid user function in GC
to delete a non-empty account.
Whether a "valid user function" or not depends on the level of
formality. In other words, your accounting "standards".

ISTR many years back encountering this discrepancy (that is, GnuCash saying it
was deleting transactions only to find them still there after).
I chalked it up to GnuCash being GnuCash, and decided that deleting accounts
with transactions in them was more confusing than stepping through an accou

And that will delete the account and move any transactions in it to another
account, which you can select. Personally, I think that makes sense, I don't
want to be mass deleting transactions as a
