When you delete your account, how long does the users questions and answers still list under their profile?

  • I understand that the questions and answers stay property of Yahoo Answers website, but was wondering how long you will still be able to click the users avatar and see their list of past questions and answers? I have deleted my account before, and I didnt notice it taking very long to disappear, When i clicked on my avatar from 1 month before, it said "oops" "The information you are looking for is not available." But someone told me it does not actually do that for 90 days. What is the truth? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    The truth. No one knows how long it takes, as Yahoo is vague on that point. Sometimes it's instantly; sometimes it takes weeks; sometimes some areas will not delete unless you contact them. This is all explained in the Yahoo Terms of Service. See my post on this subject here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkUTg3SGPzHSEO5u4lgpj6Xsy6IX?qid=20070508032940AA76YCk The exception to this is Yahoo! Mail, which is deleted (and likely the entire account with it) after 4 months of inactivity. See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/account/account-04.html . UPDATE: However, WHENEVER your Y/A profile is deleted, it's gone for good (unless you are suspended...where there is a slim possibility of re-instatement).

If you've had experience yourself with it, I'd go with that but I suppose when you delete your yahoo account that's it gone, I should hope anyway because the reason you probably want to delete it is because something on your file!

As for answers-you could bypass that thing that alows people to view your profile page, by checking the box that says Hide my Q&A from other users. As for how long the 360 lasts-i really couldn't tell you that, i guess how long it takes them to delete it. Just remember from now on before deleting accounts-change all your stuff to private.
