Hi.
I also have this problem.
In my case the bad payes have been created by using the ofx importer in
version 0.93

I imported and ofx then edited the transactions to make them have the
correct payee.
Then proceed to the payee's list.
This shows no transactions against the bad payee, which is correct.

However it is impossible to delete the bad payee as kmymoney thinks
there are are transactions.

I also examined the XML file and found them to be involved in some kind
of split transaction.
Unlike Michael I am unwilling to edit the file in any way.

I now have about 6 of these bad payees.

I have updated to the cvs version of today but that still does not let
me delete these payees.


Regards,

John

No, just open the payees view and delete the payee. In case it still has a
reference to some other object, you will have to supply a different
payee to
which those objects will be attached.

Does that solve your problem?
