• Deactivating your Hotmail account will also deactivate any associated Microsoft services, such as Outlook, OneDrive, and Skype.
• If you're using a Microsoft account for other services, such as Xbox or Office, you'll need to update those services separately.
• If you're having trouble deactivating your account, you can contact Microsoft Support for assistance.

Remember to take a moment to review your account settings and ensure you're prepared to lose access to your account and associated services.
