Important Notes:
- Deactivating your Windows Live Hotmail account will delete all your emails, contacts, and other data associated with the account.
- You won't be able to reactivate your account once it's deactivated.
- If you're using a Microsoft service like Outlook.com, you'll need to deactivate that account separately.
- If you're using a third-party app or service that uses your Windows Live Hotmail account, you may need to update your account settings or contact the app/service provider to remove your account.
Before deactivating your account, make sure you've taken any necessary steps to transfer your emails, contacts, and other data to a new account or service.
