Deleting an email account can be a daunting task if you’re not familiar with the process. If you’re using Hotmail as your primary email provider but have decided it’s time to move on, we’ve got you covered. In this blog post, we will guide you through the step-by-step process to permanently delete your Hotmail account.

Before You Begin

Before diving into the deletion process, it’s essential to consider a few things:

  • Make sure you have a backup of any important emails or attachments you wish to keep.
  • Ensure you have switched all your important online accounts, subscriptions, and services linked to your Hotmail email to an alternate address.

Step 1: Access the Microsoft Account Closure Page

The first step towards deleting your Hotmail account is accessing the Microsoft account closure page. To do this:

  1. Open your web browser and go to the Microsoft account closure page.
  2. Sign in with the Hotmail email address and password of the account you want to delete.

Step 2: Read the Important Information

On the account closure page, Microsoft provides some important information regarding the consequences of deleting your account. Take a moment to read through this information and understand the implications.

Step 3: Verify Your Identity

To ensure account security and prevent accidental deletions, Microsoft requires you to verify your identity. Follow these steps:

  1. Choose a contact method (email or phone) to receive a verification code.
  2. Enter the code received into the verification field and click “Verify”.

Step 4: Permanently Delete Your Hotmail Account

Once you’ve verified your identity, you’re ready to finalize the account deletion:

  1. Read through the final warnings and confirm that you understand the consequences of deleting your Hotmail account.
  2. Click on the “Mark account for closure” button, and a confirmation message will appear.

Step 5: Account Deletion Process Completed

Congratulations! You’ve successfully initiated the process to permanently delete your Hotmail account. Please note that it may take up to 60 days for Microsoft to complete the deletion process. During this period, you can still sign in and reactivate your account if you change your mind.

Once the deletion period is over, your account will be unrecoverable, and all your emails, contacts, and other stored data will be permanently erased.

Final Thoughts

Deleting your Hotmail account might seem like a big step, but sometimes it’s necessary to move forward. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can confidently delete your account and be on your way to a fresh start using a new email provider.
