How to Delete Email Sub-Account

I know there are many of these posts, and I have read through them. The problem is, when I follow the steps, I do not see the same choices that are in the instructions, or I do not land on the same page they talk about when I click the links.

Here is my problem with email:

There is an email that is used for my main account, which is not set up to send or receive. It exists solely for account management. 

I have a sub-account that I have been using since @bellsouth days. We'll just call it 'myaccount@bellsouth' for this discussion.

That sub-account has recently been bombarded with tons of spam. Here is the twist: Half or more of the spam is addressed to myaccount@att.net.

Where did this address come from, and how do I get rid of it?

On my sub-accounts page, [email scrubbed] is not listed; only the bellsouth one.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for responding. I was finally able to talk to tech support, and they determined that this @att email was not even in your system. They didn't really know what to do about it. For now, I'm just filtering it into a spam folder.
