Long story short :  https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user\n\nTwo ways to delete your Yahoo Account\n\n(1) Get it deleted by inactivity\n(2) Terminate your account manually\n\nFor the first method, just don't login to your account for 4 months, and your account gets deleted. But the waiting period is quiet long. It is a good policy by Yahoo, as it helps maintain an accurate number of users. I remember, when Hotmail used to brag about in its initial days about its huge userbase, most of its accounts were never used by users(who had registered themselves to get a taste of what email is called). Yahoo always gave an accurate picture. Also, for common usernames like amitgupta, emmacooper, etc which are never available (due to large no of people having these names), a chance is available to the new users to get such usernames from users who are inactive( which generally have to be registered as emmacooper1232005 due to unavailability)\n\nFor the second method, I gave you the link above. The advantage is that your account is terminated instantaneously. You can read the explaination at http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/edit/edit-23.html

You can't, I've tried. Your best bet is to abandon your current Yahoo ID and start a new one from scratch. After 4 months of inactivity, Yahoo's automated system will close the account for you.

My bf lost his account.  He had emails from me from when he was in Iraq, all his friends' contact information... etc.  Nice huh? I think there should be a better way to go about violations than deleting EVERYTHING.  The best part---I tried to delete a Yahoo! account of mine 4 times and it won't let me get rid of it.  When you want to get rid of them, it won't let you!  It says "error".

I don't know.  I tried that in the past & was unable to find a way to delete it myself.  I did, however, discover that when I left the id alone (no signing in or anything) for 30 days (or maybe 60?  I don't remember), I could no longer access the account.  Have you tried contacting Yahoo about it?  Good luck.

You'll have to speak with a Yahoo! representative about it personally. My guess is you may have a difficult time recovering the account, but good luck anyways.

Glad you are back.\n\n     I challenged it and started over. If you are deleted and it was for false violations they are pretty good about giving you back your account. It just takes patience.

don't bother about it, just ignore it.\n           first thing no responsible email provider will close ur account without genuine reason,and secondly why would yahoo ask u forward the mail???If they want they can send mail to any yahoo account themselves,they don't require ur help[even the mail ids in ur mail box are stored on yahoo servers]

Go to the Yahoo account deletion page and login with your username and password. Then, to confirm once and for all that you want to delete everything associated with your login profile, enter your password again and click the button that says ‘Terminate this Account.’\n\nYour account is now gone.

This error message is returned by mail server when you try to send mail to non existent or inactive account or to account which has blocked you.As you said you are unable to access the account then most probably mail service provider has deleted your account.For yahoo account i think it is 120 day limit and it vary for diff. service provider.
