Yes, I went to gmail on my email on my laptop and searched and found the Skimm email. I trashed it, and then deleted the trash.
It still showed on my mini iPad, even after powering it off for a few minutes. I'd thought that would resync it with the gmail site, but, alas, the snagged Skimm reappeared. I've now deleted that account from my mini, and I'll just view it on my laptop for a bit and then try adding it back in on the mini.
THANKS for your help!!
