Edwin, for whatever reason, the First Run Wizard apparently didn't run. 
I understand the end result of having an unsaved empty file is thus 
confusing.

A simple solution is to choose File > New, name your new book, and the 
Wizard *should* run to guide you through selecting accounts to add, 
import existing data from another app, etc.

If the Wizard does not run, and you'd like to use it, then report back 
here and we can assist further, otherwise, you can just start adding 
accounts individually as you think you need them.

Be sure to keep a copy of the Help Manual and the Tutorial & Concepts 
Guides open when first working with GnuCash. Both should provide plenty 
of assistance getting you started.

As for the 'unsaved' book, it should go away, but if not, simply close 
it and don't save any changes so you don't have an empty file laying around.

Regards,
Adrien
