A bit difficult to explain this, but I thought I had deleted it completely
last year, but it keeps showing up on my Nexus 7 tablet as inaccessible.  So
much for deleting it then! I wish I could remove it or something as it keeps
coming up as an error!

Thanks for any suggestions.


Kind regards,

If you are absolutely 100% sure that you are NEVER likely to ever want
that account name again, then follow the instructions here:

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/61177?hl=en

which says:

Sign in to your account at accounts.google.com.
At the top, click Data tools.
In the Data Tools box, click Delete products.
Click Remove Gmail permanently.

And that's it really!
