In most cases your account will be deactivated and then deleted from our user registration database in approximately 90 days. This delay is necessary to discourage users from engaging in fraudulent activity. Additionally, due to the limited number of names available, we may allow other users to sign up for and use your current Yahoo! ID and profile names after your account has been deleted.

I can’t find out how to delete my registration in Yahoo! People Search. Their so called “Help” is no help at all. Deleting your account does not delete your People Search registration. It’s driving me crazy.
