If you’re like most people, you probably use AOL email to communicate with friends and family. But if you want to stop using AOL email, there are a few steps you can take to do so. First, open the AOL account settings and select the “delete my account” option. This will take you to a page where you can choose how long you want your account to remain active. If you decide to delete your account, be sure to follow the instructions carefully so that your data is properly erased. Next, if you still use AOL email for work purposes, make sure that your company has implemented policies that require employees to use only company-issued devices for communication. If not, it’s likely that some of your emails will still be accessible through AOL’s servers even after your account is deleted. Be sure to check with your company before deleting your account in order to ensure that all of your emails are gone forever.
Delete AOL Mail Account Permanently
Delete the AOL program by following these steps: Open “Control Panel” and select “Add or Remove Programs.” Select the AOL program you wish to remove, such as “AOL 9.1,” and highlight it. Click “Change Remove.” When prompted to continue, click “Next” and then “Finish” after the removal is finished.
You can’t remove your email address unless the entire AOL account is terminated, which means you’ll lose access to all of AOL’s services, including AIM instant messenger. Furthermore, after 90 days, your emails and contact list are permanently erased; you won’t be able to retrieve the account after 90 days.
After ninety days of inactivity, AOL automatically deactivates an account. If your loved one had a free account, the time limit is reduced to thirty days.
If you remove the AOL software from your computer, you will no longer be alerted when new emails arrive. You may download and reinstall it at a later time if you desire.
How can I remove thousands of emails from my AOL account? To delete hundreds of emails on AOL, simply check the boxes next to each one you wish to delete, then hit the delete button. Then go to the “recently deleted mail” folder and click the permanently erase option.
