If there has not been ANY activity coded to this account (beginning balance, journal vouchers, corrections, and so on) then you can delete the account and set it up again using Maintain>Chart of Accounts Codes. If there has been activity to the account, it cannot be deleted or changed. You must create a new G/L account (make sure it is an "A/R" type so that it will be tied to the A/R subledger) for use with the Accounts Receivable module.
