    You can ignore your account for several months and it will automatically be deleted for inactivity, or you can go about deleting it yourself.

    When you terminate your account, you permanently lose all saved data and Yahoo site access associated with your ID. You’ll be deleting your email account, address book, group memberships, Y!Answers account, Y!Messenger ID, any photos you’ve uploaded, any 360 blogs you’ve posted, etc. If you're sure you want to delete your account, click on this link: https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user

    Yahoo will ask you to enter your password one last time and then you will click on the "Yes, terminate this account" button. Your entire account will then be completely & irretrievably deleted.

    If you mark the messages as spam, all that email will go to the bulk or spam folder automatically. If you do that every time you get junk, you should eventually get to a point where it's manageable. I was getting junk for a while, but when I did that I found I hardly got any junk in my inbox anymore.

    If you REALLY want to delete your account, go here (after picking my answer as best, of course):
