Why can't I delete the Hotmail account from Lumia 630

I have just got the Lumia 630 and set it up with the hotmail account but I would like to delete it and when pressing on the account from settings the only option I am getting is 'Sync'
Any ideas on how to delete this account?

As this is your primary account for your device, there's no way to delete it. At least not directly using your device. The only way to do that is from http://accounts.live.com
What you can do though is create a new account, hard reset your phone and use that newly created account. You should be aware though that whatever apps you've purchased on your old account will not be transferred to the new one.
