How do you delete an account?

How can I delete my old hotmail account?!?

• I hate hotmail! I always get spammed, then my email address always spams my old contacts! So I'm trying to delete my old account from 2003, and I'm getting this irritating message: "One or more paid services or a Microsoft Points account is linked to your account. To close this account, make sure each service is canceled and your Microsoft Points account is closed." Okay, I know I don't have a Microsoft Points account, but I don't know how to find out which "paid services" are linked to my account. The account is almost nine years old! Who knows what I've signed up for in the past. Is there some way to find out, or even get around this differently? I'm so frustrated!

  not sure you'd probably have to contact hotmail/msn .
