You can close your old Yahoo email account by following these simple steps:
- Log in to your Yahoo account: Visit the Yahoo homepage and enter your email address and password.
- Access your account settings: Once logged in, click on your profile picture or name in the top right corner. This will open a dropdown menu. Select "Account info" or "Settings."
- Navigate to the account closure section: Scroll through the account settings until you find a section labeled "Account Closure" or "Close Account." This might be under "Security" or "Privacy."
- Follow the instructions: Click on the "Close Account" button or link. Yahoo will likely ask you to confirm your decision and may require you to enter your password again.
- Confirm the closure: Read through the information provided by Yahoo about the consequences of closing your account, including the loss of all data. If you're sure you want to proceed, click on the "Close Account" button to finalize the process.
Note: Yahoo may require you to wait a certain period of time before permanently deleting your account. You might also be given an option to temporarily disable your account instead of closing it permanently.
