How to Delete an Email Account
Deleting an email account is a relatively simple process, but it is important to understand the implications before you do so. Once you delete an email account, all of the emails, contacts, and other data associated with that account will be permanently deleted. You will not be able to recover any of this data once the account is deleted.
If you are sure that you want to delete your email account, follow these steps:

3. Find the section on deleting your account.
This section may be called "Delete your account" or "Close your account."
4. Read the instructions carefully.
Make sure you understand the implications of deleting your account before you proceed.
5. Click on the button to delete your account.
You will be prompted to confirm your decision. Once you confirm, your account will be deleted.
