I don't know the answer to that question, but I can tell you the
workaround that I use in similar situations.

Instead of deleting the split in the Groceries account register, do it
in the General Ledger. In my GC menu it's the item Tools » General
Ledger, but possibly it's a different menu item in your version.

Don't use a Reports menu item; that won't let you edit any transactions.
