It may mean the credit report is in error. It may mean there was no equity supporting the second mortgage and your lawyer filed a motion to "strip" it down (especially if it was before the 2007 changes took effect). It may mean you do not owe the second mortgage any more.
It is unclear if the credit report is a new one, and you don't say if you've been paying the second mortgage since then.

If you have an account that is showing negative and it was included in a bankruptcy can you have the negative account removed or does it stay there and count as two negatives?
The term negative is rather confusing. If the account did not have a balance it would not have been included in the bankruptcy. Any account included in a bankruptcy will remain on the report for the requred length of time, open accounts would be seven years, they will be marked included in bankruptcy. The BK accounts listing will remain for 10.

Can Chapter 7 remove your name from a joint mortgage?
There is nothing that "removes" a name from a mortgage. That contract, like all contracts, is relevant until it is completed (paid). However, chapter 7 bankruptcy can discharge the debt. On any joint debt that one party discharges through bankruptcy, the other account holder becomes 100% liable for the balance.
Do you put closed accounts on in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
As long as there is a balance on an account, it should be included in a Chapter 7 filing. One of the first things a bankruptcy trustee will ask at the meeting of creditors is whether you have included all of your debts & assets in your schedules. Even if thee is no balance, which one would expect with a closed account...it does not hurt - and can only help - by including info about it on your schedules. Info on any and all financial things only assures that the bankruptcy protects you from anything to do with them, known or unknown to you, now or in the future.

Will your credit report only show a discharged bankruptcy or will it also show all the accounts included in the bankruptcy?
Your credit report will show both the accounts (which were listed first) and the legal entry of the bankruptcy in the public records portion of your credit report. Once a bankruptcy is discharged, credit grantors should update the account listing (called a trade line) and make sure that no derogatory information is showing (like past due balance or collection account notations) EXCEPT for the "included in bankruptcy" statement. This is what SHOULD happen. It's up to you to follow up and make sure that your credit report looks like it is supposed to after a bankruptcy.
