When I go about merging recipients to clean up different spellings of the

First question is which version are you using? If you are using a
5.1 version, what happens if you try a development/master version?<br>

Ctl-Shift-F (Transactions/Find) and just enter that complete T....
number. That will show you the transaction.<br>

If the Payee has no transaction, what is preventing you from
removing it? However, if you get a popup that you can't remove the
payee because of a transaction, but no transactions appear in the
Payee View, it would be important to know the details.<br>

<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">Any hints?
If not already reported I can open an enhancement report about this one.
Would be good to have an error message that gives better guidance on what
to do about it.</pre>

No need to file a bug. The same people who would respond to it
there are also reading here.<span style="white-space: pre-wrap">
