Please.  
How can I delete unused addresses from my account?

Why would you do that? Unused addresses are there for when you need to use them. Bisq works with HD wallet addresses so removing this ones would just create a few other new ones.

Yeah, generally wallets don’t support a feature of deleting addresses either. Too much risk of losing funds, I guess. You can always backup this wallet and create a new one.
