  • The only way to delete your Y!A account is to delete your Yahoo account (email, etc)

    Your questions & answers will remain in the YA archives though.

    You can however set up your profile to make your Q&A private, and to not allow email & IM. You can delete any open questions & answers, but all resolved questions & answers are the property of Y!A. Then you just stop coming here.

    You can't delete just the Answers part. The only way that part gets deleted is if Yahoo suspends it because you got reported too many times, etc. I think you need to abandon it for 4 months and it will automatically delete.

    You can close your account completely and start a new one.

    Edit: You need to go to My Profile, and then to edit my profile. Then check mark the boxes that say Hide my questions and answers. This way people can't click on you and see what you've answered and the questions you've posted.

    the only thank you to delete your Y!A account is to delete your Yahoo account (digital mail, etc) you are able to in spite of the undeniable fact that set up your profile to make your Q&a private, and to no longer enable digital mail & IM. you are able to delete any open questions & solutions, yet all resolved questions & solutions are the valuables of Y!A. then you definately purely supply up coming right here. :o)

    Why? That's probably personal. Um, Just abandon it I think.
