Delete SQL intersection

I have a MySQL database that I want to delete some rows in a table from based upon whether or not a column in the table that I want to delete rows from has a defined value in the cross referenced table.

To be precise, one table has this format:

Account Table:

        accnt_id
      accnt_email       varchar(50)
        .....
      accnt_date

and the other has this format.

Property Table:

        prty_id
      cty_id
      accnt_id
      prty_first_property
      ......
      prty_date

Both tables have a column for accnt_id.  I want to delete all rows from the Account table that do not have a row in the property table with accnt_id =  accnt_id.  Basically, if they don't have any properties with their account id in the properties table I want to delete that row in the accounts table.

SELECT * from `property` WHERE `accnt_id` = xx  pulls all rows with accnt_id == xx from the propery table.  I need to know how to use that through an intersection to delete matching rows in the accounts table.

A general reference for command line SQL manipulations would be appreciated.
