Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Is there any way to delete your YA profile?

I don't want to make another account but I would like to start over on YA.

    You cannot Just delete your Yahoo! Answers account,you have to delete your whole Yahoo! ID

    if you wish to delete your entire Yahoo! ID follow these steps:

    to delete Yahoo! ID do the following:

    ✔Log int the one you wish to terminate

    ✔click this link: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/edit/changing_use...

    ✔scroll down to the article

    ✔read all information on that page.

    ✔then click the blue hyper-link that says 'Account deletion' in the 2nd to last paragraph

    ✔enter your password to verify you are the account owner

    ✔Read all information on this page

    ✔enter your password again into the 1st box

    ✔enter the capatcha code

    ✔click 'Yes terminate this account'

    An alternative if you do not want to delete your whole ID:

    -Delete your Avatar

    -Delete your screen name

    -Take out all links for IM/Email/360 profile.

    -Take out information from your: About me

    -Make your Q&A private

    -Delete all contacts & fans

    -set your Network so that nobody can add you to their contacts.

    (all these settings can be changed via your 'Edit my info' on your Yahoo! Answers profile)

    No, sorry. you may delete your OPEN questions, yet no longer "in voting" or "Resolved" ones. you may delete your solutions on OPEN questions (tedious, yet you may!). you may set you avatar to be the sparkling gray face and make your call something like "x", close your connections to e-mail & IM & 360 once you've them open. yet it is all. something belongs to Yahoo! solutions for his or her database.
