how can i delete my yahoo answers account?

When you delete your Yahoo! Answers account your Y!A email account is automatically deleted as well as it is linked to your Y!A account and is part of the Y!A account package.

Once you have deleted or deactivated your Yahoo! Answers account it is irreversible.

When you close your account, you will lose access to your Yahoo! ID, Yahoo! Mail, and profile names. Yahoo! will delete your account data and settings across the Yahoo! network. This means you will lose all of your content in Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Contacts, My Yahoo!, Yahoo! Groups, in your Yahoo! Finance Portfolio, and in any other area of Yahoo! that can only be accessed with your Yahoo! ID and password.

Whatever is on the Main Board, in Resolved Q and in Undecided Q in voting remains in the system for ever unless it is reported by enough people.

Whatever has ended up in Google and other websites remains there for ever or indefinitely.

Dormant accounts are deactivated after 6 months (plus an additional 2 months for every year the account was held). An account is considered dormant if it hasn't been accessed for that interval, even if email has arrived during that time. Note: Signing in via an email client, such as Microsoft Outlook, Mac Mail, or a mobile phone mail application is not considered a valid login. You must sign in to your account on a Yahoo! web site using an Internet browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Chrome).

Once an account has been deactivated, it's impossible for the Yahoo! Mail team to retrieve any stored information.

Note: Yahoo! Premium Mail accounts are protected from dormancy, and are not subject to deactivation due to inactivity. Please visit our Yahoo! Mail Plus page to learn more and sign up. Note that Yahoo! Mail Plus is not available in all regions.

But your Answers account, not so simple. You can delete your entire Yahoo! account but even then you can't remove yourself completely from Answers. Even if your entire Yahoo! account is suspended or deleted your Answers profile and Q&A not in violation of community guidelines would remain.

You could pretty much end your Answers account by hiding your Y! Profile, setting your privacy settings to My Contacts Only, removing all contacts and fans, changing your username to something like "?", disabling email and IM, and then simply don't use the account any more.

You really can't. Only Yahoo can delete a YA account however, you could do this: Click your avatar, delete all your contacts click edit my info, delete the info in your profile including your personal avatar if you had one, set everything to private and , uncheck to receive ims or emails, click save don't return to the site.Your questions and answers remain on the site they are the property of Yahoo.

it does not affect your email account, it remains active.

An alternative would be to completely close all your Yahoo accounts.

Go below, follow the prompts.
