Tired of your yahoo! email account? Here is how to delete your account from their servers.


I recently needed to remove myself from the world of yahoo. To delete your account is actually pretty easy. However, considering many of yahoo’s features are tied to your yahoo account, do this only if you want to lose everything related to yahoo.

You can’t just close out your yahoo! email account. By closing out your account, you lose all your yahoo! services for that account.

    By terminating this account, you will lose your Yahoo! ID, Mail address, and Profile names. We will also delete your account data and settings across the Yahoo! network. This includes the contents of your HotJobs, Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Address Book, Yahoo! GeoCities, Yahoo! Briefcase, My Yahoo! and more.

After clicking the link below, you will need to login and confirm your wishes. With all of that out of the way, here is the way to close your account:

    Help!! i just added a new yahoo account. I did not mean to delete the old one. Please advise. When i ask for Yahoo Mail; it does not give me an option; it just assumes i want the email account i just created.
