A while back, I created a second email account just for online shopping and newsletters—you know, to keep my main inbox clean. But over time, that inbox turned into a clutter magnet. Between daily promo emails, random signups, and password resets I didn’t care about, it started to take over my phone.

Eventually, I realised I didn’t need that account on my iPhone anymore. I could still access it from my computer if needed, but I didn’t want it hijacking my home screen notifications. If you’ve ever found yourself in a similar situation—maybe with a defunct [Gmail](https://www.techloy.com/tag/gmail/), a long-forgotten school email, or a temporary account you no longer need—removing that email from your iPhone can bring a surprising sense of relief. 

Here’s how to do it.
