If you want to close your Hotmail account just stop using it. This is the way Microsoft actually recommends for deleting Hotmail accounts. Here is how the process works, if you do not touch your hotmail account for thirty days the account becomes inactive, and after ninety days Passport becomes inactive. But there is a way to delete Hotmail account manually. Follow the instructions below.
- Click on “Help” on a Hotmail page it doesn’t really matter which page
- In the search area type in “Close Account”
- Select the “Close your Hotmail Account” in the help screen
- Select the “Close Account” link which is highlighted in blue
- Click “Close Account” to finish closing the hotmail account

I see that you wrote this page 2 years ago.
But I hope you’ll eventually see my comment
b/c I really need help. If you do, please email me.
I didn’t sign onto my
account for years, but it’s still active!
My previous emails are gone but I am still
able to sign on. And when I tried to close it,
it said that the Microsoft email account is
linked to it and it needs to be closed before
closing the hotmail account. But that doesn’t
make sense b/c I don’t even have a Microsoft
email account.
I want to close this account please.
