Deleting empty account

[David Iacobellis]

The starting balance is zero.  There are no scheduled transactions for this
account.  It was opened on April 3 of this year.  We opened a new VISA card
account and for the first time the number on my card differs from my wife's
card. I set up a separate account for each card before realizing the bank
only uses the primary card for online tracking and payments.  It is just
easier to enter everything under the primary card number.  I moved all
transactions from the secondary account to the primary account with the
exception of the reconciliation.  I cannot find any references to this
account.  Really baffled.  Is there a way to do a general search for this
account instead of opening all other accounts separately and doing a manual
search?
