Tom, You can make accounts hidden. Edit the account in the Account tab and select the hidden button in the dialogue. You can always then use the right click in the Accounts tab, select Find Account and unhide them in future. If you delete an account you can choose another account for any splits to the deleted account to be redirected to.
