I deleted the account files, but gnucash insists on keeping the accounts listed under the 'File" topic. If I click on the accounts whose file were deleted, I get an error message that file cannot be found. This is confusing and un-needed.

The list in the file menu is of recently accessed files. Deleting the file has no effect on it. 

The list is stored in ~/.gconf/apps/gnucash/history/%gconf.xml. You could probably delete that with no ill effects -- but to be safe, rename it instead, so that if Gnucash complains you can put it back.
