I don't understand the way I set up my iCloud account and I'm totally confused with it. In an attempt to fix this and just start over completely I deleted my screen name but "bonjour" keeps logging me in. Is it safe to delete it? What options do I have?

Please help!

Hi,
In Messages or iChat go to the App Menu > Preferences > Accounts
On the left is the list of  Accounts that are set up.
Everyone gets Bonjour (Although by default it is not Active).
Highlight the Bonjour Account
On the right there is a Box that says "Enable this Account" which probably has a tick in it.
Select it to remove the tick.
This will turn Off the Bonjour Account.
The List may also contain any @me.com name you have set up.
This can be used in Messages as the ID for iMessages
It is also a Valid AIM screen Name.
It would helps if we knew which version of iChat and the OS you are using as there are some changes that occur
An iCloud @me.com name will not work in iChat 5 or earlier due to the checks Apple has in iChat 6 (and Messages) which iChat 5 does not do.
To also work as a Valid Screen Name the password for your @Me.com name has to be 16 characters or less (AIM server limit)
