How do I delete an account that I no longer use?

How do I get rid of (delete) another Yahoo id/account I no longer want to use?

• I realized after I created an account that I had misspelled it! So I created a second account spelled properly, and I want to delete the bad/old account.

• Answer:

  Use this link to delete an existing yahoo email account: https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user Note that this will completely delete your account and you will not be able to access the mails again. Read this to understand this completely: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/access/access-08.html To create a new account, go to http://mail.yahoo.com/ Look for "Don't have a Yahoo! ID? Signing up is easy. Sign Up" Click on "Sign Up", and you will be aksed to provide information required for a new account, and new id and passwords. Fill that, and you are ready. Tell your friends about this new id, and DO NOT leave this new email address at web sites, do not use to forward mails to people you dont know. That is the best way to avoid getting spam mails. However, if you are deleting accoutns just because you don't like the yahoo id, consider creating an alias for your existing email id at http://edit.yahoo.com/config/list_alias?.src=ym Getting alias would not change anything for the acocunt, you will still get mails in the same account.
