GL account cannot be inactivated

Hi

It is not possible to declare a general ledger account as inactive, while a bank account is linked to this GL account. Even if the bank account itself is declared as inactive in "Bank Accounts" (tick box).
In the above described case the following message is shown when trying to set the GL account as inactive: "The account belongs to a bank account and cannot be inactivated."

Is there a work around how to set a general ledger account liked to a bank account as inactive?

Version used: 2.4.16

Thanks and regards
