Can't delete "special account'

I have several IMAP accounts in Thunderbird but an extra acct has popped up "The following is a special account. There are no identities associated with it." 

I think it  is a global account but I don't want it and can't delete it. It has no server settings and no folders - just 'junk settings' and 'disk space' and the option to delete is grayed out.

I've added two print screens to show. How do I delete this account?

Since I do not see the special account Local Folders listed I can only assume that for some reason you decided to rename it to Bryan's Inbox. The Local Folder account is default to Thunderbird and cannot be deleted.

It most certainly is (or was) Local Folders.
