Why bother deleting them? They'll only come back later ...

I parked them under a parent called "Suspense", together with a "Money in 
transit" account I use for tracking transfers between accounts at 
different institutions (that take several days to complete). That way, 
they're not visible most of the time (and "Suspense" comes conveniently 
last in the Accounts list).
