Comment (by eljaco):

 Yeah, ok, found it. To answer my own question, on Ubuntu Hardy, I found it
 under ~/.purple/accounts.xml - I simply removed the entire <account>
 [zephyr definitions] </account> block and now it works fine. Guess I just
 won't use my zephyr account.

 On a side note, why isn't this file protected or encrypted? It contains
 passwords to accounts, which should not be saved in plain-text files, in
 my opinion...
