Cancel my hotmail email account
To cancel your Hotmail email account, you'll need to follow these steps:
Method 1: Cancel through the Outlook.com website
- Go to the Outlook.com website (www.outlook.com) and sign in to your Hotmail account.
- Click on your profile picture or initials in the top right corner, then select "View account" from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down to the "Account" section and click on "Account settings".
- Click on "Cancel account" at the bottom of the page.
- Confirm that you want to cancel your account by clicking "Yes, cancel my account".
Method 2: Cancel through the Microsoft Support website
- Go to the Microsoft Support website (www.support.microsoft.com) and sign in with your Microsoft account (which is your Hotmail email address).
- Click on "Account" and then "Account settings".
- Scroll down to the "Account" section and click on "Cancel account".
- Follow the prompts to confirm that you want to cancel your account.
Important notes:
- Before canceling your account, make sure you've saved any important emails or contacts, as they will be deleted permanently.
- If you're using a Hotmail account for a Microsoft service like Xbox, Skype, or Office, you'll need to cancel those services separately.
- Canceling your Hotmail account will also cancel any associated services, such as Outlook.com or Microsoft Office.
If you're having trouble canceling your account or have any questions, you can contact Microsoft Support for assistance.
