Step by Step instructions:

1. Start out on your home screen:

2. Press Start and select the Messaging application:

3. Once you are in the messaging application:

4. Select the account you wish to delete – use the D-Pad, arrow keys or jog wheel, do not click or press the account name with your finger.

5. Select the Menu option at the bottom right hand corner (right soft key):

6. Select the Delete action:

7. Confirm that you want to delete this account:

8. The account you selected is now deleted!
