how to cancel my yahoo account?

It's like you kid sister, you can never get rid of it.

It's easy to Cancel your Yahoo email account, but before you cancel your email account you should be aware of a few possible problems that may arise when you do.

You should also note that your Yahoo email account and your email address are linked but are not the same thing. If you're not sure of the difference then see Yahoo accounts and Email Addresses.

1. You may have given the email account to contacts and friends and they may still send email to this account.

See getting found section of find email address for details on changing email addresses in general.

2. The email address may already be listed in various email directories, and people searching for you may find it there.

3. If you change your mind you may not be able to get your old email address back.

I doubt it. I have had several account that were important for works stuff and all that, and they said it was suspended, and it's been like six months, and they still haven't given it back. Just forget about it. Just make a Yahoo answers email account strictly to be used for that, and another one for personal emails.
