You have to create(sign up) new id with yahoo.com and if you want to delete your old account.\n\nHere is procedure\n\nDelete Account:\nYahoo! members can remove their own accounts and account information from Yahoo!. Please follow the instructions below to initiate the deletion of your account. \n\nBy terminating your account, you will lose access to your Yahoo! ID, Yahoo! Mail, and profile names.

You are always welcome to sign up again for a new account. \n\nTerminating your Yahoo! account does not alter or delete your Yahoo! People Search listing, which you need to edit or delete yourself. \n\nIf you are subscribed to any premium services, we recommend that you first cancel those premium services before you delete your account. There is no guarantee that deleting your Yahoo! account will immediately cancel the billing for any premium services you might be subscribed to. To cancel your current subscriptions, visit Yahoo! Billing Information for your account, choose the "My Services" tab, and click the "Cancel" link for each subscription. \n\nTo remove your entire account, please visit our Account Deletion page (https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user ). You will be asked to sign in to or verify your password for the account you wish to delete. Please be sure to read the next page carefully, as important information about your account is included. You can then confirm the deletion of your account. \n\nIf you're having trouble signing in, you can get password help on the Sign-in and Registration Help page.\n\nPlease complete the deletion process only if you are certain you would like to remove your entire Yahoo! account and any features you have personalized within the account. After the deletion process is initiated, your Yahoo! account can never be recovered. \n\nSource\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/edit/changing_users/edit-23.html\n\nIf you have any further question you can contact me.

You cannot change your Yahoo! ID except by opening a new account, but you can add up to five (5) aliases to your current ID as part of the same account. An alias consists of a name and some information that you show in a profile to other members. When you log in to Yahoo!, you can choose any of your aliases.  However, you can create another Yahoo account for free.\n\nTo create a new alias, go to the Yahoo! Member Directory. Make sure you are signed in, then click on "My Profiles." The next page will list your ID and any profiles that you have already created. To make a new profile, click the "Create New Public Profile" button near the top. \n\nThe only required field is the actual name -- all other information is optional. You should not reveal any information on your profile that you wouldn't want a complete stranger to know (such as your phone number or address). \n\nWhen you're done, use the "Create Profile" button. This will take you back to your profile list, with your new name added. Make sure to click on the "Finished Editing" link to save your changes. \n\nIf you decide to re-register and create a new ID, you will need to reset all of your preferences for My Yahoo! and other personalized Yahoo! services. \n\nInformation between separate accounts cannot be merged or exchanged.

You can't if you are talking about Yahoo! Mail, because once you delete it, it is gone for good.  That is why it asks you if you are sure you want to delete it.
