We saw this already and Jack replied about 30 mins. after your first 
email, suggesting to check your schedules for a reference to the account.

Another possibility is that the account is referred to in a report you 
may have generated.  Also, try Tools.Consistency Check.

If all else fails, you may need to look at the xml file.  Save your file 
as .xml, via the file selection filter, then open it in an editor. 
Search for it by name, and find its Id.  Then search through the file 
for that Id.

You then have two choices.  Firstly, you can see if any references you 
uncover can be accessed via KMyMoney.  Failing that, and, taking great 
care not to upset the formatting, delete the transaction/s or entries 
from the file and re-save the file with a different name and open it in 
KMyMoney.  Either it will load successfully and your account may now be 
OK or the account is still there but may now be deleted successfully. 
Or, you've broken your file and will need to try again with your 
original xml file.  Once your xml file is OK, save it as .kmy.  Do 
ensure you have backup.
