To cancel your Yahoo account, go here: https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_use...
Then do the following:
-Login with your current username and password
-Select which account that you want to delete
-Enter in your password once again for verification purposes
-Enter in the anti-spam code; this is to prevent automated submissions
-Click Terminate This Account to finish off this process.

You can never open your account back up again because of security reasons. By terminating your Yahoo account, you will permanently lose access to it. Everything stored in your account will be lost during that process.

All this includes:
-Mail
-Address Book
-Answers (your posted content will remain permanently archived)
-Messenger
-My Yahoo!
-Groups
-Alerts
-Flickr
-Any other area that is accessible with your username and password

The only other alternative is to let your account lapse after 6 months of inactivity, plus 2 months for each year you have been an member.
