Could someone please try this with their hotmail and get back on this?

I don't have kitkat yet but I hope you get an answer because I use the exchange accounts for my calendar and I need it to work.

Go into Settings. Scroll down to Accounts. Select the account that is your Exchange account. Tap the account as if you want to sync it. You'll be taken to a Sync screen. Tap the menu icon in the upper right corner. Menu options include Remove account. ;-)

This seems not working for me too.

I cant find any option to delete my Microsoft Exchange account on my Nexus 5 with KK 4.4.2

Turn syncing off on the account first. Then the delete option will appear.

This does not appear to work on my phone (Nexus 4). Maybe I misunderstood...

Found this on another thread...it works...

This worked for KitKat OS 4.4, thanks.

A bit more detail:
1. Main Apps Menu > Settings > ACCOUNTS > Corporate
2. Select the desired account (should have a green 'sync' icon to the left of the account name)
3. Next screen should say 'Sync' in the upper left of the header navigation bar. Choose the far right '3 dots' drop down menu
4. Choose "Remove account"

Google should at least offer a link from the main Email application to get to this screen.

Thanks, Kamin.

It took hours of searching to find your post for the same issue I had with Marshmellow.

That has to be the most obtuse place to put account removal that I have seen.

Yes, I had to go into the Sync options to get Remove Account. Very strange.

I spent about an hour going around in circles trying to delete an email account before I found this post. Thanks!
