Yup. If you messed up an import then you definitely want to delete
those transactions in all accounts. If you left those entries hanging

Yeah, it's a bug. It's supposed to delete the transactions, not just the splits

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".

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

Thanks for all your responses. I guess the discussion went off track
here. Again, it's not a double-entry accounting issue, nor it's a split
