The answer from Geert is what I was expecting. My problem will be there are
4 accounts with the exact same name. I am surprised it saved in that
fashion. I first ran into the problem when I, just curiously hit the "new
window" command and lost everything. I had to reopen the file from one of the
backup files.
Thanks for your help.

I guess Harry is referring to the Most Recently Used file list, and
actually
means he created a couple of extra books while experimenting.
These references in the menu are harmless. GnuCash keeps track of the last
10
data files it opened.
If you really don't want them, you will first have to remove the data
files
themselves (using whatever filemanager your system provides, like Windows
explorer, OS X' Finder, KDE Dolphin, Gnome File manager,...).
If you then afterwards click on the links in the GnuCash menu, GnuCash
won't
find the original file anymore and delete the link as well.
