  1. you can't delete your yahoo 360 page, but you can put it on JUST ME (PRIVATE)

    Sorry I wasn't a lot of help :(

    Good Luck :D


  2. You can't delete your Yahoo! Answers account completely, but you can make it nearly invisible.

    All the questions or answers you've submitted that are "in voting" or "resolved" are now permanently a part of Yahoo! Answers. Yahoo basically owns those answers. You can report your resolved questions and answers to Yahoo as "violating Community Guidelines" and they may remove your content at your request, but you also risk deletion of your entire account if you acquire too many violation notices.

    It is of course possible to delete any of your "Open" questions and answers: for questions, go into each individual question while signed into your account, click on the Pencil icon underneath the question and select the "Delete Question" option; for answers, simply locate each answer and click the “Delete Answer” link and confirm the deletion. Also, remove all questions from your watch list and remove all stars you've given to other user's questions.

    Next, either click on the "My Profile" link or your own avatar so that you're viewing your profile. Then click the "Edit My Info" link to the right of your personal stats. The rest of what you need to do will be accomplished from that screen

    Remove all personal information you've posted in your profile and make sure to disable the options to contact you by email or messenger. Also make sure to disable the link to your 360. Next, select the options that make your Q&A and your Contact Network hidden from all other users, and make sure that the option to allow others to become your fan is NOT selected. This way no one can browse through your questions, answers and Y!Answers Network. Make sure to click "Preview" and then "Save" after you've made all these changes.

    That's about as private as you can get.

    Now, about your 360... Unfortunately, you cannot completely delete a Yahoo! 360 account. It's linked to your primary Yahoo! ID. If you want to delete your Yahoo! ID, visit this link: https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_use...  If you want to keep your Yahoo! ID for things like Mail, IM, Answers, etc. then you'll need to hide your 360.

    There are a few different ways to do this,

    1) Select the "Settings" option at the upper right of your 360 page and change all of you settings to 'Private'. This hides the majority of your content, if someone stumbles onto your page.

    2) Perform option #1 and then select the first "Display Me As" option on the Settings page. Now your profile doesn't link to your 360 page. Also, UNcheck the "Activate Simple URL" setting and the "Friend Search" setting. This way people cannot guess your 360 page by sticking your yahoo id onto the end of 360.yahoo.com or searching for you by name or email address.

    3) Perform options #1 and #2 and then delete your friends by selecting the "My Friends" link in the upper right of your 360 page. Select "Edit Settings" on a friend's name, then select "Remove <friend> from your Friends Page". Finally, delete all of your content, blogs, links to pictures, lists, reviews, etc. This pretty much makes your 360 inaccessible and/or unusable by anyone who happens to get there.
