I need to cancel my AOL account how do I do that

Note: Once you cancel your AOL account, you will not be able to reactivate it or retrieve any information from the account. Thus, it is recommended to take a backup of all the necessary information before proceeding with the cancellation.

You can cancel your AOL account by following the steps below:
1. Go to https://myaccount.aol.com
2. Enter your username and password in the respective fields.
3. Answer the account security question appropriately and click "Continue".
4. Click "Manage My Subscriptions". This will help you to access your account information.
5. Click "Cancel"
6. Now, select a proper reason for cancelling your subscription and click "CANCEL AOL".
7. Follow on-screen instructions to finish the cancellation procedure.

How Do I Delete My AOL Email Address?
The simplest way is to make it automatically cancelled by not signing into your email account for 24 weeks. Call the cancellation line on 1-888-265-8008. Say 'cancellation' when your call is answered, and say no to all the offers made to you. Either Fill out a PDF form online to cancel your internet provider or mail the form to AOL at P.O. Box 65100, Sterling, VA or simply fax it to 703-433-7283.Make a follow up to ensure the account is deleted.

You will need to apply for a new AOL account with a name and password. Don't use the name that you cancelled. It's blocked by AOL. Use a new name and new password.

If you're paying AOL for an account you will need to contact them directly. Fixya is not affiliated with any manufacturer or service provider, so nobody here can cancel the account for you. Once you've signed on, you can follow the links to AOL's customer service, or you can call them if they list a telephone number on the site or in any printed materials you may have received. Their people will be able to work whatever magic is needed to cancel your account, credit you for any unused time, and do on. But thanks for asking here on Fixya!

Hi,
This is directly from my AOL Help Section... good luck since they are a pain in the behind to actually get them to change anything reguarding the account.

We hope you've enjoyed being an AOL member and that we can help you again in the future. For security reasons, AOL accounts cannot be cancelled either online or through e-mail. You can get your AOL account cancelled either through phone, U.S. mail or fax.

You can also request the cancellation of your AOL account through the U.S. mail. Just send your request to:

If you prefer sending in your request through fax, please send it to us at 1-703-433-7283.

Notes:

If you choose to write or fax us, please include a brief note stating the nature of your request, the primary billing contact's full name, phone number, address, and handwritten signature.
