Thanks Jonathan, I'll read this and see what happens. It just irritates me that I have two accounts on my Nexus, an old one I can't get into to delete, and the new one I have created which I want to retain of course. Getting rid of it via Gmail on my PC doesn't let me in, and I don't know my way around Gmail on the Nexus to know if it's just the same thing.

NOw I understand! So it's not the account itself that needs deleting, it's the link to the account on the Nexus 7. Completely different thing to what I was thinking! In which case typing the following into google: "remove gmail account nexus 7" brought me to this page about adding and removing accounts: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2840815?hl=en-GB You might also want to read this page about selective sync: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2840875?hl=en-GB&ref_topic=3416294 Does that help?
