Deleting a Yahoo Mail account permanently is a simple process, but it requires a few steps to ensure everything is done correctly. Here are steps to do that.
1. Backup Important Data:
Before proceeding, download any important emails, contacts, or attachments. Once the account is deleted, all your data, including emails, calendars, and settings, will be erased.
2. Visit the Yahoo Account Termination Page:
Go to Yahoo Account Deletion.
Log in with the credentials of the account you wish to delete.
3. Read the Terms of Termination:
Yahoo provides details about what happens when you delete your account. Review this information carefully.
4. Confirm Your Identity:
Yahoo may ask you to enter your password again or provide a verification code sent to your recovery email or phone number.
5. Click on “Continue Delete My Account”:
After confirmation, click Yes, terminate this account.
6. Wait for Deletion:
Yahoo retains your account for up to 30 days (90 days in some regions) before permanently deleting it. During this period, you can reactivate the account if needed.
