How can I delete a google account?

[AC Question]

I don't use my old gmail account, but google keeps asking for it. I have added an account with my yahoo mail address, and that's what I want to use. But, i keep getting an error message that account action is required (related to the gmail account).

Did you already delete the account itself on Google's My Account website before removing it from your phone? You can remove Google accounts in the Accounts section of your phone's system settings. Just be careful, though, it may cause an android.process.acore issue (a factory reset is needed to get rid of the issue) so it would be a good idea to back up your data first.
