You need to just delete the whole ledger entry. Removing an account
from a ledger entry doesn't make much sense, so gnucash don't allow
it. It will allow you to remove the whole entry, though, which will
also make the transaction unbalanced.

GnuCash will make sure the transaction is balanced by adjusting one
of the ledger entry amounts automatically. This is not a user-friendly
way of doing things and in the future we will make this better. However,
the solution is complex enough that it will have to wait until 1.5.
Also, the problem with editing the reconcile flags is fixed, it will
be in 1.3.100, coming out tomorrow.
