Is violating the Yahoo! 360° TOS the only way to have my account deleted?

You can't delete your 360 but you can remove all your information on it, delete your friends from, change all your settings to private, choose the first option where it says Yahoo! Identity display and never visit it again.

Don't violate TOS, they will not just remove your 360, they will delete your entire account.

No

you can ask to have a name deleted but it will delete all the nic the buddy lists the 360 everything and you will not be able to get it back how long it takes i don't know i had a nic stolen and the page is still up even after a request to delete but that could be because they also deactivated the nic when it got stolen.

just remove all from 36 and don't use it only thing people will find is the nic and empty boxes

i have no answer to the question, but wanted it known that the person who asked the question is not alone..i. too, would like to know how to delete yahoo 360
