Bulk deletion of "Never" used expense accounts is actually something that is often needed is your use the imported to fetch data from your Bank. Some banks will generate an expense account for each Amazon transaction for instance.
I personally have plenty of those to delete after I batch edited the transactions. So a batch deletion, or even a suggested batch deletion of "Never" used expense accounts would be a huge time saver.

Solution

I think the solution could be in 2 steps:

• allow selection of multiple expense accounts, then deletion
• allow deletion of all Never used expense accounts

What are alternatives?

click click click click... clik... :)
I wonder btw if someone made a console app such as k9s that could work async, that would be such a time saver....
