Can't remove Photostream folder

I logged into iCloud using my wife's account accidentally, and now I find myself with 2 Photostream folders... I've tried logging into her account again and disabling Photostream. The folder remains. I've logged into and disabled Photostream on both accounts and still one empty folder remains... Is there anyway to remove that extra folder?? Even with Photostream disabled I'm seeing that Photostream folder that has nothing in it... Irritating if nothing else...

iPhone 4, iOS 5

Working Solution from LiangX's link posted here:

1. Delete your current iCloud account off of your iOS 5 device.

2. Sign into the original iCloud account (the one linked to the inactive photostream album)

3. Make sure photostream is turned ON

4. Take a picutre, and wait for it to appear in the Photostream.

5. Go into setting and turn off photostream, deleting all pictures, and getting rid of the photostream album.

6. Delete the iCloud account.

7. Sign back into the correct iCloud account on your iOS 5 account.
