Canceling an Windows Live Messenger account.

How do I cancel a Windows Live Messenger account? Do I just not sign in for
30 days or is it tied in with the Windows Live ID account?

Re: Canceling an Windows Live Messenger account.

Greetings Mike,

It's tied in. Your contacts won't be deleted unless your Live ID is inactive and deleted.
Time frame for that is several years.

However, there's nothing stopping you from deleting all your contacts.

Greetings Gavin,

It depends what kind of Live ID it is.

Head over the following link to see if you can:
