Method 3: Contact Yahoo Support
If you're unable to delete your account through the website or app, you can contact Yahoo support directly:

Important Notes:
- Before closing your account, make sure you've backed up any important emails or data you want to keep.
- Closing your Yahoo account will also delete all associated data, including contacts, calendar events, and any other information stored in your account.
- If you're using a Yahoo account for other services, such as Flickr or Tumblr, you'll need to close those accounts separately.
Remember to be cautious when closing an account, as it's a permanent action that cannot be undone.
