How to delete a Yahoo messenger account?





Wandering around Yahoo! answers. i have seen many people asking how they can delete their Yahoo! messenger account.

OK, so let’s clarify this once and for all. You can’t delete your Yahoo! messenger account and still use all other Yahoo! services associated with that account. The reason why is that Yahoo! Messenger uses your Yahoo! account for authenticating you (same as other Yahoo! features such as Jobs, Geocities, MyYahoo!, Business etc’).

I would say you have 3 options:

  • Stop using Yahoo! Messenger, and use other alternatives.
  • Create a new Yahoo! account that you’ll use only for Messenger
  • Delete your Yahoo! account. See how to delete your Yahoo email account for more on this.

    How do I delete the Messenger smiley face on my starting page, I don’t intend to use it at any time, it only takes longer for me to go to my e-mail. I only installed it along with the juke box, not realizing what I had but unable to remove them. I have sbcglobal.net for my internet but hate Yahoo as it has so many ads and went back to Outlook Express for my e-mail site. I don’t use Messenger or chat rooms. I’m not a teen ager or young hep person!!!!!!!

    I do not want that “messenger ” stuff popping up whenever I turn on computer. . . .
    If I want something, I will chose to have it
    I do not want to have to make a bunch of clicks
    when I want to do something else. It is very annoying to have to get rid of it before I can do anything else.

  3. I do not use Yahoo Messnger and don’t like that it pops up when I open my computer. I want to delete just Yahoo Messenger.

    Thank you
