How To Delete Yahoo Email Account?

You can delete a Yahoo Mail account permanently by performing any one of the methods given on this web page.

Method 1 – Deleting the Yahoo Mail account using the termination page

Your computer needs to have a stable internet connection.
Open Google Chrome or any other web browser like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari on your computer.
Visit the Yahoo Mail account’s termination web page, type your Yahoo email address, and click the Next button.
Provide the Yahoo Mail password in the Password field and then click the Sign In button.
This will open the Information web page on the screen with the terms of deletion. If needed, read and review it.
Note: Before deleting the Yahoo Mail account, you need to cancel any paid Yahoo services.
Scroll down and then select the Continue option.
Now, you will see the ‘Are you sure you want to terminate your Yahoo account’ message.
Enter the Yahoo Mail email address again and click the ‘Yes, terminate this account’ button.
This will schedule the email account deletion.
Once deleted, the email account can be recovered within 30 days if needed. Post 30 days, there is no chance to recover it.

Using this method, you can only delete the account from your smartphone and not from the Yahoo mail server.

On the home screen of your smartphone, search for the Yahoo Mail application and tap its icon.

Tap the Menu or Hamburger icon at the upper-left corner of the screen and select the Manage Accounts option.

Tap the Edit option at the top-right end of the screen.

Tap the Remove option next to the Yahoo Mail account.

When you see a prompt box with the ‘Remove the account from this device’ message on the screen, tap the Remove option again.

This will delete the selected email account from the smartphone.
