    You can delete your Yahoo Answers Account in two ways, neither direct.

    ******************************

    First you can leave the YA account as it is for a few months without accessing it and it’ll be eventually deleted due to inactivity. But before that you’ll have to:-

    •Make your Q&A ‘PRIVATE’,

    •Set no Avatar and remove all ‘CONTACTS’ and ‘FANS’

    •DISALLOW Fans and remove anything in the ‘’ABOUT ME’ column

    •Remove your NICKNAME or name it ‘Blank’ (Anonymous), and

    •CLOSE all links to your E-mail and other websites.

    *******************************

    Secondly you can Use this Link referenced to delete your entire Yahoo account Before deleting follow the above things (from the first point) and read the warnings carefully in the link given below. Terminating your Yahoo account means you will LOSE access to: Yahoo answers, Flickr, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Address Book, Yahoo notepad, Yahoo Briefcase, My Yahoo, and all Yahoo properties.

    ***********************************

    When you delete your account either way all the questions you asked and answered will be available for the ‘Search’ and you cannot delete them. They now become the property of Yahoo or if resolved, they are already the property of Yahoo.

    You dont actually have a Yahoo Answers account, perse' , you merely have points on this site.

    You log in on the same page as you do for you email address,so it would mean cancelling your entire Yahoo ID. You just stop coming here, is the way to end it.

    Lol the irony of this you're able to desire to apply yahoo solutions to verify a thank you to eliminate yahoo solutions. properly in simple terms end using your account and after 6 months it gets deleted i think. Rob

    When you delete your account your whole account is deleted and that includes your email account and everything in your profile.

    Whatever is on the Main Board, in voting, in Resolved Q and in Undecided Q remains in the system for ever unless it is reported by at least 2 people.

    Whatever has ended up in Google and other websites remains there for ever or indefinitely.

    Closing Yahoo Account

    You will need to close your entire Yahoo account and loose everything you have there, like mail, records, photos, the name you use, which could be difficult as you will need to advise on that account of a new address you will have to make.

    You can't delete yahoo!Answers. The website isn't yours to delete. You could log out and pretend it isn't here.
