[Kmymoney] Archive or delete?

[Footer]

Yup, it surely does.  As Andy suggested:  Kmymoney - general - filter tab -
Do not show closed account -- does in fact hide the closed accounts.  And
yes, as long as you have a zero balance, you can close the account.  I
figured that one out awhile ago!  Plus the fact that to actually delete an
account, all transactions and schedules associated must be deleted as well.

And thank you for the Ctrl-Shift-A tip Thomas!  That is really slick as
well.

I think this will solve my problem for now.  Thanks for weighing in!!  And
keep up the great work, I love this program!!
