Gio, In GnuCash you cannot delete split lines without throwing the transaction out of balance. Hence, you need to replace the undesired account with a different account. If you want to delete every instance of an expense A and replace it with expense B you can do that in the account tree by relocating expense A under expense B then deleting expense A.
If you want to only select a few instances of A and replace them with B, that probably means examining one transaction at a time and changing A to B individually. If you use the technique described by Tommy Trussell you can generate a "short list" of transactions that meet your criteria for finding the desired transactions, but you would still need to edit those transactions one at a time.
