Two ways to do this:

1) View -> Filter By -> Other
   uncheck "show zero total accounts"

2) Select the account in question
   click Edit Account
   select Hidden (to hide from the Chart of Accounts) and Placeholder (to
hide from autocomplete).

You may even want to perform a mix-and-match of these two options.
