How do you delete your yahoo 360 profile and restore the default one?

360 is really beginning to get on my nerves and I just would like to go back to the plain profile I had with the limited information it provided before I signed up for 360. Anyone have any ideas please? The FAQ is pretty crappy.

    To change your Yahoo Profile back from 360 to the "old" version:

    Go to your 360 page.

    Settings.

    Ensure you've chosen the FIRST of the 3 "Display Me As:" options.

    Now anyone clicking a Yahoo link to your Profile gets the "old" one.

    However, if they're smart, they still might figure to try directly keying "360.yahoo.com/Your-Id".

    This WILL reveal your 360 Profile if you have "Activate Simple URL" set - so if you DON'T want this either, uncheck it.

    Having got this far, IF you want to COMPLETELY DELETE your 360: ... well, you can't!

    (Not unless you close your whole Yahoo A/c, which would then delete your access to YM, Y!Games, and any other passworded Yahoo stuff - but I gather that even THEN your 360 page might not be erased!! - Perhaps there's a 2-year "waiting period" or something !?).

    BUT, what you CAN do is set all the options in your 360 to "Private", then YOU will be the only one who will ever see "your" page. (If you like you can also delete much of the info too, but there's not much point, when it's all totally "Private".)
