The first step in deleting your Hotmail email address is to access the Hotmail Account Termination page. Open your preferred web browser and go to https://account.microsoft.com. This is where you can manage your Microsoft account settings.

Step 2: Sign in to your Microsoft Account

If you are not already signed in, enter the email address and password for the Hotmail account you wish to delete. Once you have entered your credentials, click on the "Sign In" button.

  • If you don't remember your password, click on the "Forgot password" link and follow the instructions to reset it.
  • If you don't have access to your email account, click on the "I don't have any of these" link and follow the account recovery steps.

Step 3: Navigate to the Security Settings

After signing in, you will be redirected to your Microsoft account dashboard. Look for the "Security" tab and select it. This is where you will find all the security-related settings for your account.

Step 4: Delete your Hotmail Email Address

Scroll down the Security settings page and locate the "More security settings" option. Click on it to access additional account security options.

In the new window that appears, navigate to the "Close my account" section. This is where you can delete your Hotmail email address.

  • Before deleting your account, ensure you understand the consequences. You will permanently lose access to all associated services, including emails, files, and subscriptions.
  • Make sure to carefully read all the information provided on this page to understand the implications and make an informed decision.

Step 5: Confirm Account Closure

A confirmation page will appear, outlining the important details and repercussions of closing your account. Take the time to review this information.

Click on the checkboxes indicating that you have read and understood the provided information. You may also be required to select a reason for closing your account from a drop-down menu.

Once you have completed the required fields, click on the "Mark account for closure" button to initiate the account deletion process.

Step 6: Wait for Confirmation

After completing the account closure process, you will receive an email notification confirming your request. Typically, it can take up to 60 days for your account to be permanently deleted.

During this time, your account will be in a deactivated state, allowing you the opportunity to change your mind and reactivate it if needed.
