How do I change the account balance to "0" in a closed credit card account?

My closed credit card account is still showing a negative balance after I have closed the account. How do I fix this,

You can put in a balance adjustment transaction by entering a transaction where the category is the account name enclosed in square brackets.
Like this:

Balance Adjustment    [This Account]    $amountNeededtoZeroAccount

@Chris_QPW This is a duplicate post.  In the other thread, the OP stated that he had a duplicate debit in the account.

I did not see the answer above in the previous thread.

I didn't see the other post.  

BTW I should have probably stated "Ideally you would fix what is keeping the account from being zero, but here is a quick 'I don't care' solution".
