[GNC] Removing Orphan components from transaction

[D]

If you delete every data element in the anchor split, and TAB of the end, the split will be deleted, and the transaction will disappear from the register. I've been using this technique for years to clear out the Imbalance-USD account when items appear there.

I get an error message any time I try to do so and it won’t let me. I *can* delete a split assigned to the current register *if* there is more than one such split. (thus it is still anchored to the account)
