First of all,please understand that the account will vanish totally when you do this. Move any messages you want to keep to somewhere else such as Thunderbird's Local Folders account.

Click on any account in the Folder Pane to select it. Right-click and select Settings

An Account Settings page will appear, listing your accounts in a tall pane at the left. Select the offending account by clicking on it, then click on Account Actions at the bottom. This will reveal an option to Remove Account.

Note that you aren't allowed to do this if the selected account is your default account. You'll need to nominate another account as the default first.

Before you remove an account from Thunderbird move any messages from that account to a folder under Local Folders or they will disappear with the account.

From the Menu Bar select Tools-Account Settings Select the account to remove Select Account Actions-Remove Account
