Nice to meet you, *****!
Could you please clarify, what you mean by saying that it's disappeared?
If I try to sign in to the account it says it does not exist
I see
Could you please tell me when and how did the problem occur?
It's an old account I thought I had deleted it. If I try to recreate it, it says it's taken. when I type it in it says it doesn't exist
I see
So it is in my phone and I cant delete it
So the problem is that you want to delete it on your phone, right?

Thank you!
Please, follow these steps:
- Head into your Settings > Accounts and backup

Got it
