• Closing your Hotmail account will also close any associated Microsoft services, such as Outlook.com, Skype, or OneDrive.
• If you're using a Microsoft account (e.g., Outlook.com, Skype, or OneDrive) with your Hotmail address, you'll need to update those services to use a different email address.
• If you're experiencing issues with your account, you may want to try troubleshooting or contacting Microsoft Support before closing your account.

Remember to take a moment to review your account settings and ensure you're prepared to close your Hotmail account permanently.
