Hi @horryr84 welcome to MetaMask community, You can simply remove the ledger account you have connected to MetaMask. Click on the three dots on the right and remove account. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/metamask/original/3X/e/0/e0d93ed583adc088952e757dddbc8e91fe1e9853.png) ---

Everything you have on the Ledger account it will stay there, unless you transfer it away. Disconnecting your Ledger does not mean losing your funds. The ledger account is a separate account that you can access via the MetaMask wallet. And which you can disconnect at any point like I mentioned. Please follow this article to understand better how Ledger works with MetaMask. Inside the article there are also links from the Ledger website with guidance > **[Hardware Wallet Hub](https://support.metamask.io/hc/en-us/articles/4408552261275)** > > MetaMask currently supports five lines of hardware wallet: AirGap Vault, Keystone, Lattice, Ledger and Trezor.

But how can i login to the account then again after deleting it? I would need the private key them, right? But now i cant open it because of connection to ledger. Is there another way? ---
