    Hi, Martin

    Gravatar accounts, once created cannot be deleted, but you can set it to hidden. You can find instructions to do that here:
    http://en.gravatar.com/support/profile-privacy/

    If it won’t let you add the second email address because it’s already used by another account, you must change the email address on the account you’re abandoning first. If you have Gmail you can add a period anywhere in your address, or add information to it as in “yourmail+secondaccATgmail.com”, and Gravatar will treat it like a unique address while it will still send to your regular Gmail account.

    Or if you want to disable that account beyond any chance of recovery, you can create a throwaway address with a service like Gmail or Yahoo, change the account to that address, create a very long, random password, and then delete the throwaway email address. If you do that and set your profile to hidden there is no way anyone will be able to access it or view it again, which is the next best thing to deleting it completely.

    Let me know if you have more questions about this.
