Hi!

After 4 months of not using the account yahoo deletes accounts that are inactive

But, if you want to close your Yahoo! account, you can follow the steps
https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user

Then do the following:
● Login with your current username and password
● Select which account that you want to delete
● Enter in your password once again for verification purposes
● Enter in the anti-spam code; this is to prevent automated submissions
● Click Terminate This Account to finish off this process.

* When you close your account, you lose access to your Yahoo! ID, Yahoo! Mail, and profile names. We will delete your account data and settings across the Yahoo! network. This means you will lose all of your content in:

Yahoo! Mail
Yahoo! Address Book
Yahoo! HotJobs
My Yahoo!
Yahoo! Groups
Finance Portfolio

•Make your Q&A ‘PRIVATE’,
•Set no Avatar and remove all ‘CONTACTS’ and ‘FANS’
•DISALLOW Fans and remove anything in the ‘’ABOUT ME’ column
•Remove your NICKNAME or name it ‘Blank’ (Anonymous), and
•CLOSE all links to your E-mail and other websites.
