Hello cherrykiki.
I found this on a site. Hope it helps.
Give it a try and post your results. Good luck.
To close a Hotmail/Live/Live ID account please do the following:
Close all browser windows.
Start, Run
Bing, click "sign in" in upper right corner. This should
be the scuba divers page.
Sign in using the name of the account you wish to close.
Click "Windows Live" in upper left corner, between "MSN" and "Hotmail".
You should now be at
http://home.live.com.
Click "Account" in upper right corner.
Click "Settings" in upper left corner.
Under "Common tasks" in upper right corner you will see "Close your
account".
Verify that the correct Live ID is displayed, supply the password, and click
"Yes".
You should see a screen that says
«There is a Microsoft e-mail account (Windows Live Hotmail) associated with
your account, so you can't close your Windows Live account immediately. To
close your Windows Live account, you need to close your Microsoft e-mail
account first. After a period of inactivity, your Windows Live account will
automatically be closed. Close your Microsoft account.»
The words "Close your Microsoft account" are a link. Click it and go to
this screen
«To deactivate your Windows Live Hotmail account, click Close account. All
stored messages are permanently deleted and incoming e-mail is refused.
Your e-mail address is reserved for 120 days after closing your account.
After that time, it may become available for other people to use.
To reactivate your account once you have closed it, sign in within 120
days. »
Click the "Close My Account" button.
You will either see a "Confirmation of Closed Account" or a "Signing Out"
screen.
If it is the "Confirmation of Closed Account" screen you are done.
Otherwise {
On the "Signing Out" screen, just click the "Done" button. This is the
last step. The next screen says
«Your e-mail account is now closed
Your stored messages and contact list will be
permanently deleted within the next few days. »
}
Do not sign in or access the account for 120 days. If you have second
thoughts just sign in to the account at the Hotmail or Live portal.
Received messages and items in online folders may be lost if you do this.
