    If you mean just to remove it from the list just click on the account in the dropdown and then click "remove".


    There is no dropdown as it has its own page

    But I do not want to delete the entire account just the new second address
    When you created a new gmail address you created a new account. You want to use your original account and not the new one. You want to delete the new address you created therefore you want to delete the new account.

    It's own page? Are you using Gmail in a web browser or something else? If you are using it in a web browser you should have a "Google Account" icon at the top right, below the address bar. If you click this you should see all of the accounts available and clicking on the one you want to remove from the list will bring up the "Remove" button option.

    If this is not your setup then we need a bit more information on how you are accessing Gmail.

    I think you're getting confused by the terminology.

    You have 2 email addresses, let's say they're ...

    aardvaak1@googlemail.com
    aardvaak2@googlemail.com

    Therefore you have 2 accounts:

    One account is called aardvaak1@googlemail.com
    The other account is called aardvaak2@googlemail.com

    Google allows you to link accounts - so you can see them both at the same time.

    i.e. You sign in using one email address, but you see emails for both accounts.

    So it sounds like you have linked the aardvaak1@googlemail.com account with the aardvaak2@googlemail.com account.


    So what do you want to do? For example:
    1. Un-link the accounts - so that when you log into the the aardvaak1@googlemail.com account you only see emails for aardvaak1@googlemail.com

    And when you log into the the aardvaak2@googlemail.com account you only see emails for aardvaak2@googlemail.com

    Or
    2. Completely delete the aardvaak2@googlemail.com account, so that you can never send or receive emails again using the email address aardvaak2@googlemail.com

    (the OP doesn't want any accounts deleting)
    Or 3. just stop the email address being displayed in the browser?
    This depends on the browser, but if the OP logs out of all googlemail accounts, if he sees something like this, then to "remove" the unwanted account from the list, click on the "Remove an account" button then select the email account to be removed from the list only.

    Well done on confirming your email addresses to the whole world. ;)
    I suggest you edit your post to remove them.

    edddy just used your forum name and made up the addresses to make the explanation easier. :)

    He didn't need to ... anyone with an ounce of common sense could easily work out what he'd done. After all, how many people use a significant part of their real email address as a forum name? (Oh - you do).
