title: Removing a block nested in a block via the local.xml file
body: <p>I'm trying to use my local.xml file (where I do all my updates to the layout&#41; to remove a block that is nested in another block.  I can easily remove a block via the &lt;remove&gt; tag, or using the unsetChild method, but I can't seem to remove a block that is nested in another block.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the line of code I am trying to remove (located in the customer.xml file&#41;.  In particular, it's the block called "customer_account_dashboard_newsletter"</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;customer_account_index translate="label"&gt;
          &lt;label&gt;Customer My Account Dashboard&lt;/label&gt;
          &lt;update handle="customer_account"/&gt;
          &lt;!-- Mage_Customer --&gt;
          &lt;reference name="root"&gt;
              &lt;action method="setTemplate"&gt;&lt;template&gt;page/2columns-left.phtml&lt;/template&gt;&lt;/action&gt;
          &lt;/reference&gt;
          &lt;reference name="my.account.wrapper"&gt;
              &lt;block type="customer/account_dashboard" name="customer_account_dashboard" template="customer/account/dashboard.phtml"&gt;
                  &lt;block type="customer/account_dashboard_hello" name="customer_account_dashboard_hello" as="hello" template="customer/account/dashboard/hello.phtml"/&gt;
                  &lt;block type="core/template" name="customer_account_dashboard_top" as="top" /&gt;
                  &lt;block type="customer/account_dashboard_info" name="customer_account_dashboard_info" as="info" template="customer/account/dashboard/info.phtml"/&gt;
                  &lt;block type="customer/account_dashboard_newsletter" name="customer_account_dashboard_newsletter" as="newsletter" template="customer/account/dashboard/newsletter.phtml"/&gt;
                  &lt;block type="customer/account_dashboard_address" name="customer_account_dashboard_address" as="address" template="customer/account/dashboard/address.phtml"/&gt;
                  &lt;block type="core/template" name="customer_account_dashboard_info1" as="info1" /&gt;
                  &lt;block type="core/template" name="customer_account_dashboard_info2" as="info2" /&gt;
              &lt;/block&gt;
          &lt;/reference&gt;
  
      &lt;/customer_account_index&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I realize this doesn't work right now, but here is my starting point (located in my local.xml file):</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;customer_account_index&gt;
      &lt;reference name="my.account.wrapper"&gt;
              &lt;action method="unsetChild"&gt;&lt;name&gt;customer_account_dashboard_newsletter&lt;/name&gt;&lt;/action&gt;
      &lt;/reference&gt;
  &lt;/customer_account_index&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any thoughts?  Thank you.</p>
