Uh .... if your intent is to MOVE an account to a  different place in 
the CoA, simply change its parent. Same if you want a different name for 
the account, just rename it. In either of those situations you are not 
intending to alter any transactions, so why touch them.

Yes, delete will work IF the destination account is empty. But moving by 
delete is a MERGE operation (merge the transactions in the account being 
deleted wit the transactions already in the destination account. 
However, how would you demonstrate afterwords that it had been empty?
