One of my Accounts got hacked and if I try to log in with my email, it won't let me and it shows an unknown Email.

So when I tried to log in on one of my Accounts, it showed me another email that I've never seen before. When I tried to use my Password it was wrong too. Can I somehow delete that email from that account or can the support do it?
