How do you delete a hotmail account?
Click Help on any Hotmail page (usually top right-hand corner).





Type Close Account in the keyword search section of the Help screen.





Click the Close Your Account link within the Help screen.





Click the go to the Close Account link that is highlighted in blue.





Read the instructions. When you are satisfied that you understand the terms associated with an account closure, click Close Account.





One note: if you're closing your account because you feel someone's abusing it, please be aware that some time after you close your account someone else could open a new one using your old account name and pretend to be you.





Personally, I recommend just stop using it because that is the simplest thing to do. However, in the interest of keeping your reputation safe, I'd also recommend that you do check in on it every so often to keep it active just to make sure no one else takes it. I believe the same approach is best for most all of the free email services.






Reply:Yahoo won't let you delete it. THis is one of the many little things that contribute to the bigger picture of Yahoo's failing scene on the web.





The account will be deleted automatically after four months if it is left idle.





Hope that helps.
