How do I close my Hotmail Account?


To close your hotmail account:
In the upper right corner of any Hotmail page, click on ‘Help’
This launches a new pane that contains MSN Hotmail Help
Click ‘Find’, and then type ‘Close account’, and then click ‘Go’
When the search results are delivered, click ‘Close your Hotmail account’
That will take you back to a special section within your own Hotmail account pages and you can close it simply from there.

Or…

You can also close your Hotmail account by not signing in to the account for 30 days or within the first 10 days after you set up your account. Hotmail then marks your account as ‘Inactive’, your stored messages are permanently deleted, and inbound messages are returned to the sender.

You can reactivate your account by going to the sign-in page and typing your sign-in name and password. If your account remains ‘Inactive’ for 90 days, Hotmail permanently deletes it. You cannot reactivate your deleted account because it has been completely removed from our system. You must register for a new one.
