Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Currently, accounts that are closed remain permanently visible in the "Closed Accounts" in the sidebar section.

This becomes problematic when creating test accounts during the initial setup process, since they continue to appear even though they are no longer needed.

It would be useful to allow deleting closed accounts that have no transactions/history, or otherwise provide a way to remove unused closed accounts from the UI.

This would help keep the account list clean without affecting historical financial data.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

You can click "force delete" in the account deletion modal to remove them from the UI entirely

Thanks! That solved it.

I had to reopen the closed accounts first, and then I was able to delete them.

Also, I hadn't noticed the other sections in the issue template because I didn't scroll down far enough when creating the issue.
