Hello chris you must edit listviewdefs.php (that will be in /custom/modules/accounts/metadata/ ... if the file is not there then it will be in /modules/accounts/metadata) adding your custom fields
For example if you create the field phone it will be stored in accounts_cstm and its name will be phone_c so this name you must use when edit listviewdefs

is it possible to delete the standard ones this way without breaking it?

yes, if you don't want to see any standar field, you can comment its code
For example, in listviewdefs.php, you do not want to see the standard field 'name', then you comment its code:

/*'name' => array(
    ....
),*/

Hi,

You should use studio to put your custom fields into layouts , that will automatically create your custom layout files.
thanks
