Topic: 2.3RC3 Cannot Delete a GL Account

I've only just started using FA, so I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong or if this is a bug.

I get the message:
"Cannot delete this account because it is used by one or more Item Categories"
when I try to delete an account that had previously been allocated as a stock account.

From within "Sales and General GL Setup" it was previously allocated to the following:
Inventory Account
Inventory Adjustments Account
Item Assembly Costs Account

However I have since pointed these to another account.  I have no Item Categories set up as I do not use them.

Does this look like a bug to anyone else?

Many thanks.

If you are not using Items, you must first delete the Item Categories or also point the specific account to use another account, otherwise they are pointing to the account.

I do not seem to have any item categories to delete!  When I click on the Items and Inventory tab, and the Item Categories, the list is empty.
Many thanks.

This is really strange, I have found nothing suspicious in related code. Please make dump of your database and check whether stock_category is really empty.
