Do you mean trading accounts?

If yes, simply right-click the account and choose "Delete".

You can only delete a trading account that is in the background, so you can't delete the account that you are currently logged into.

Also if your demo account credentials give you an 'invalid account' message in the Journal tab of your MT4/5 terminal, then they are either wrong or this demo account has expired, demo accounts expire in most brokers every 1, 3 or 6 months.

The support for 'this platform' when it concerns your trading accounts' details and credentials come from your broker, not MetaQuotes.

 

When you remove the account from MT5, you should also note that it doesn't delete all the tick data you downloaded on that broker account. That can take up a huge amount of disk space, so you might want to think about clearing the contents from the broker account directory in:

\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\[Terminal name]\bases
