<p variant="impt">In most cases, it's best to close an account and not delete it.</p>
<p>If you close an account, Money will hide the account from view but will retain records of transactions made in that account. These records may be important at tax time or for later reference.</p>
<p>If you delete an account, Money will destroy all records of transactions made in that account. Delete an account only if you've never used the account in Money or you will never need records of the transactions from this account, such as if you have inadvertantly made a duplicate account.</p>

<li>Before you delete the account, back up or archive your Money file.</li>
