How do I cancel just one yahoo email address?

• The email address [email protected] was put on by accident. How do I cancel just this one email account? Sincerely, Karran A. Elmore

• Answer:

  To close your account make sure that you are signed in to the account that you wish to delete. Special attn: Make sure you read what you will LOSE when you cancel your account. https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user?.scrumb=qPzkC.wTcVq =======================================... NOTE: if you are going to be on the Yahoo Answers site I recommend allowing contact by email. By doing this those that answer the questions or those that you have answered questions for are able to contact you to clarify a question/answer instead of sometimes guessing. Allowing this to happen does not expose your actual email address as you will receive a message from Yahoo stating you have a message from a User. There should be a white "Y" inside of a purple circle or square if it is from Yahoo. This is how you set it up. Click on your Avatar (photo) Then click on the WRENCH ....upper right ....on the next screen. Under PRIVACY SETTINGS place a check mark in the boxto the left of "Can contact me via email". Click save. You can click on the small icon on the right side of this and it will tell you your email address will remain private. Thanks
