How can I delete my Hotmail or MSN?

Is there a way i can delete my hotmail account, and remove it from my friends msn contacts list?

• hi i want to delete an account bcoz i dont like it anymore, and it is an old account which had a stupid name, so how can i delete it and remove it from people contact address list?

• Answer:

  You can't delete it from others contact lists...but once you delete it they will get the message FAST if they use it that it is no longer a valid account. You can BLOCK people you don't want...but this makes sense.... Follow these steps to delete your Hotmail account: • 1. Click Help on any Hotmail page (usually top right-hand corner). 2. Type Close Account in the keyword search section of the Help screen. 3. Click the Close Your Account link within the Help screen. 4. Click the go to the Close Account link that is highlighted in blue. 5. Read the instructions. When you are satisfied that you understand the terms associated with an account closure, click Close Account. "I recommend to just stop using it because that is the simplest thing to do." 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 to 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.
