Can't delete Imbalance account

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

In order to delete the Imbalance account you must first make sure the
Imbalance account is empty.  My guess is that it is not.  You will either
need to delete the transactions, or at least delete the splits that go
into Imbalance (and redirect them somewhere else).
