To close your account

If you're prompted to sign in and/or verify your account, follow the instructions.
Check that the page shows the correct Microsoft account, then click Next.
Read the list and click the checkboxes to acknowledge you've read each item.
In the Select a reason drop-down list, choose the reason you're closing the account.
Click Mark account for closure.
We wait 60 days before permanently deleting your Microsoft account, in case you've changed your mind or need to access something associated with the account before it's gone forever.
During this period, your account is marked for closure but it still exists. If you want to reopen your Microsoft account, just sign in again within that 60 days. We'll cancel the account closure, and everything will be as you left it.
