There is an alternative simple but less rigorous way: make a single
compensating transaction in each affected account, and note the
reason in the memo. If you don't use a category, it will not count
as income or expense in reports.

Unfortunately I think lots of manual editing is the only way to
resolve it. Look into Find/Replace to do some of that in bulk.

Default Merge duplicate accts ? file import/export ?

I'm trying to merge some duplicate investment accounts.I'm able to merge the
investment buy/sells pretty well but am having trouble with the cash
portion.The cash portion has many transfers from a checking account,so do I
delete each transaction before I import the file ? or after ?.Basically my
cash account balance is way off after the merge and also my checking account
balance is way off.To further complicate things,many of the cash
transactions eminate from a paycheck split. Any ideas ? Thanks Alan
