Null account (twitter) cannot be deleted

[Rainer Rohde]

I have a twitter account that's now seen by Gnome Online Accounts as a "null" account and cannot be deleted. Not sure what happened there.

Please see screenshots attached.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

so this is solved by going to the synaptic package manager and installing "account-plugin-twitter"

Thanks libihero -- this worked like a charm. :)

Thanks libihero, it solved the problem for me too.

Wow, I was not even aware that the (null) ghost entry was a Twitter account but trying this method, indeed I could not delete it. Thanks! :)

My twitter account turned to null after I upgraded from 15.04 to 15.10. Installing account-plugin-twitter fixed that, but I still have another account listed as (null) which won't go away. I have no idea what type of account is was supposed to be though. Only clue it gives is an email address (hotmail). So could be anything really.

OK, I figured out the other null is for Windows Live. I don't see a plugin for windows live accounts.

Same here for the windows live plugin. Where is this configuration stored, so that I can maybe just delete it?
Ubuntu 16.04.
