How can I remove Google account from Thunderbird?

I have two Google (yes, Google, not gmail) accounts. When setting up my gmail in Thunderbird, I was prompted to enter the Google account. I have entered the wrong one. Consequently, I cannot access my gmail: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

I have tried all ways I have found in this forum to get rid of it again, such as editing the prefs file, but to no avail.

How can I remove the Google account from the Thunderbird settings to be able to insert the new one?

Thanks for your help in advance, Matt

Have a look in the password manager that there are no saved passwords. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/password-manager-remember-delete-change-tb

Hi David,

the account does not appear , so I cannot access any settings. Some data relating to the Google account must be hidden somewhere.

In case it plays a role, my Google account itself says that it is "not connected to any third-party apps or services".
