How to Delete Your Hotmail, MSN or Windows Live Account Permanently?

Yesterday I told you how to delete your unused GMail account. Today I'm going to tell you the same thing for Windows Live accounts.

Do you want to delete your exiting MSN, Hotmail or any other Windows Live account? Do you have some unused Windows Live IDs which you no longer use and want to get rid of them? Do you get lots of spam mails in your Windows Live Mail account and want to delete it permanently?

I'm sure there are many ppl who face such problems and want to completely remove their Windows Live IDs for obvious reasons. If you are one of those, then do you know you can do it. Yes. You heard it right. Microsoft provides a way to delete your MSN, Hotmail or other Windows Live accounts. Just follow these steps:

1. Open following link:

Delete MSN, Hotmail or other Windows Live Account

If the above link doesn't work for you, go to following link:

Close Windows Live Account

2. Enter your mail ID and password and it'll show following page:

3. Click on "Close account" button.

4. Your account will be reserved for 270 days so that if you want to re-activate it, you can do within 270 days. After 270 days it'll be deleted permanently and you'll not be able to re-activate it.
