️ /”I want to close my Hotmail account/” is a knee-jerk reaction to many account problems. It’s easy, and I’ll show you how, but it also may be pointless or even harmful.

️ I want to close my Hotmail account
Closing your Hotmail or other Outlook.com account won’t stop spam or prevent your contacts from being bothered. It could cause more issues, like losing access to Microsoft services or your PC. Consider securing and managing your account instead. If you still want to close it, log in, navigate to account settings, and follow the closure steps.
