Deleting empty account

[David Iacobellis]

I stand corrected.  I have never used the scheduled transaction feature in
KMyMoney.  Ever.  After reading your email I looked and sure enough, there
is a scheduled transfer for each new account number for this VISA.  I did
not set up these scheduled transfers and I am not sure how they came to
be.  Deleted both scheduled transfers and was then able to delete the
secondary account.  Thanks for your suggestion.  I would have never looked
there as I have never used that feature.  Any idea how those scheduled
transfers came to be?
