Deleting an account that has transfer transactions

Question

If I delete account "2" that has transfer transactions to/from account "1", what happens to those entries in the remaining, undeleted account?

Those linked transactions in the undeleted account will remain 
intact but the category will be changed to [Unspecified Account].  You 
can then manually change the category for those affected transactions to
 something more appropriate.
Something to consider:  If 
you delete that account you will lose all historical data for it which 
can be problematic if you do budgeting or use Tax Planner.  If instead 
of deleting the account you simply close it you will keep all that 
historical data and your linked transactions with it will remain 
intact.  And once the account is closed you can hide it so it does not 
show up in the Account List and Category List.
