Hmm.  Did you say _every_ transaction involved in _all_ expense accounts?

Open your file and save off a copy.

Then on the Accounts tab, find the top-level Expenses account and
highlight that.

Click on Edit menu item and then on Delete Account.

On the popup screen select the options to delete sub-accounts and to
delete transactions.

Click on the Delete button on the lower right corner.

POOF -- all transactions involving an expense account are gone.  So are
all the Expense accounts!  But you can add those back in as needed.
