  2. Be aware that deleting your account permanently will remove all your emails, contacts, and account information.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Go to the Hotmail account settings page by clicking on the gear icon () in the top right corner of the Hotmail homepage and selecting "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

Alternative Method:

If you're unable to access your Hotmail account or prefer a more manual approach, you can try the following:

  1. Go to the Microsoft Support website and sign in with your Hotmail account credentials.
  2. Search for "Close a Hotmail account" and follow the instructions provided.
  3. Fill out the "Close a Hotmail account" form, providing the required information, including your account username and password.
