How Do I Delete an Inactive Outlook Account?

Published in Email 1 min read

You can't directly delete an inactive Outlook account. Instead, you can close it. This will remove your email address, contacts, and other data associated with the account.

Here's how to close your Outlook account:

  1. Log in to your Outlook account. You can do this by going to https://outlook.com and entering your email address and password.
  2. Navigate to your account settings. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner, and then select "View account."
  3. Select "Close account." This will take you to a page where you can confirm your decision to close your account.
  4. Follow the instructions on the screen. You'll be asked to provide your password and confirm your decision. Once you've done this, your account will be closed.

Remember, closing your account is permanent and cannot be undone. Make sure you back up any important data before closing your account.

Note: If you're having trouble closing your account, you can contact Microsoft support for assistance.
