I'm pleased they are still there, but I don't see them. I run into this
problem on auto-fill transactions -think fuel or groceries where you
repeatedly go the same place and buy a variety of things whose total is
always different.

To a later question of why delete? When the imbalance accounts are gone I
have removed the errors.
