How to remove all txns from an Account?

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

I think the real question is.. What EXACTLY are you trying to do?

What I would do:

  xaccAccountTreeForEachTransaction(acc, get_txn_list_cb, &txn_list);
  foreach (txn_list)
     delete txn.

But I don't know why you'd ever want to do this.
