There's no way to cancel an OFX import "unknown account"

[iffy]

Related to #324, if you import an OFX file for an unknown account, the unknown account lingers without a way to remove it.

Just commenting that this bug still exists and that it's still an issue.

However for those still having this issue, I do have a fix. Open the Buckets database with your SQLite client of choice and one of the tables contains unlinked accounts. You can delete the row belonging to that import from there. Just make sure you backup your Buckets database (by creating a copy) and making sure Buckets is closed. Once you do this, the unlinked account will disappear.

You can use the debugger within Buckets to run the SQL (until this issue is fixed):

1. Make a backup of your budget file (as @dragos240 said)!
2. Click Tools > Debugger
3. Paste this into the SQL Query box: DELETE FROM unknown_account
4. Click Run
5. Maybe you have to close and restart? Maybe not.

I have a similar issue with one of my banks (Alliant Credit Union) having multiple entries for each account.

(Seems like once a year or so some kind of system maintenance makes copies of all the accounts and the old versions -- with no new activity -- hang around in the system indefinitely.)

Even if I clear the list, they come back every time I sync. Would be great to have an option to move them to an "ignored accounts" list. Current workaround is to add them as off budget, then close them, but that's messy. :)
