Hi, I have a dedicated account for my Solidity testing.  
So, I have setup Ganache locally and start sending “ETH” by using fake money.  
Now, I am trying to delete account-1 from my MetaMask and it seems I can’t do it because I can see that there were one transaction “signed” but not confirmed.  
And honestly - I just want to delete this account anyway.

I don’t want to hide it.  
How I can do that?

No “Delete” button in anywhere…

Hi @dshyryayev thanks for contacting us.  
There’s no option to delete an account that was created under the SRP you are using, you only have a “delete” option for imported accounts.  
The only way to delete accounts created under the SRP is the one you find [here](https://support.metamask.io/managing-my-wallet/accounts-and-addresses/how-to-remove-an-account-from-your-metamask-wallet/) but please be careful, and ensure you have your SRP kept in a safe place if you want to try it, taking into mind you most probably will get “account 1” by default again.
