We all know that Yahoo use to be the best email service provider some years back. Over time, newer email services like Gmail has shifted them from their position.

Deleting your Yahoo mail account does not only mean that your emails will be removed and you will lose access to your account, but also you will no longer have access to your My Yahoo settings, Your Flickr account and photos, and other data that is stored in Yahoo services.

If your Yahoo mail is linked to any third party website and services, you need to remove your account and replace it with a secondary email account in order to avoid any inconvenience.

Backup Your Yahoo Email and Attachment

Before proceeding to deleting your Yahoo mail account, it is important that you first backup all your data before you permanently loose it.
