How do I delete an America Online (AOL) Screen Name?

ok my mom deleted aol and i stil used my screen name so it charged her about 400$ i used it so much....i deleted the screen name(from aim) but now im worried that my friends will email me on that screen name and charge us more money...how do i delete that email adress without signing on that screen name, because we don't have aol anymore?

Kayla, if you shut down your AOL account and aren't logging in to it any more I don't see how they could be billing you any more. I'd call their customer service center if it's an ongoing problem...

Your instructions seem simple, but WHERE do I find aol's "account settings" button to follow your simple steps.

thanks

Craig, on the Mac version of AOL, at least, the "Account Settings" is an option on one of the pull-down menus on the top menu bar. It's on the menu that has the name of the app (e.g., "AOL")

Unfortunately, once your account is closed, all your email vanishes unless you've copied it to your local mailbox.

I signed up for a free web-based aol screen name. Later, I then opened a paid for account but couldn't use that screen name as it was "already taken", by me. So how do I delete this web-based screen name/account, so I can use it on my paid for account? What a stupid dilemma. Thanks!

Laura, I have to admit that I haven't been able to figure out how to delete AIM accounts, even having poked around in the software and the AOL help. I'll try again, though.

Nick, sounds like you might want to try reinstalling the AOL software and deleting the screenname again?

Can I have 2 aol accounts on one computer for more screen name options if so how do i do that

i want to delete my email how do i do that

Annie, yes, you can do that, you'd just sign in as 'guest' for the second account each time. Should work fine.

Rana, I'm not clear what you're asking. You can't delete your AOL email account without deleting your AOL account too.

im am sooo anoyed that i cant delete a AIM screen name please help me!!!!!!

When I try to delete a screen name I keep getting "There is a system problem". How do I fix that??

Every time I click account settings and then screen names I get an error message that says "cannot find server" " action cancelled" This has been going on for 3 days and I have followed 5 different tips on how to correct it from AOL. Nothing works.....HELP

i want to delete my primary name, they say i can't, but if i went to another server i could do that, it would mean i would have to delete my account with aol. so what's so simple, i don't want to use the name anymore.

All I have with aol is an aim screen name. They made an email address for me without me doing anything or asking for it. How can I delete the email account while keeping my aim screen name? They can't force me to use services that I don't want, right?

You can't delete your AIM email account as far as I know, but you can ignore it. Just don't tell anyone you have it...

My husband and I are trying to delete screen names for children that have moved away from home and no longer use them. Each time we try, we get a message that that screen name has subscribed to something which blocks us from deleting the screen name. All of this could be avoided if they could only remember the passwords to those screen names but..... Please help!

what if you try to get a screen name and it does not work?

Hi. Ok I really want a new screen name but my family and I already have the 7 spaces filled up and I have a screen name that i dont remember my password to that has all of my personal and important information in it. How do I find my password? PLEASE HELP IM DESPERATLY BEGGING YOU TO HHHEEELLLPPP!!!!!

Ah, another interesting variant on the "can you tell me my password" question, Hannah. Sorry for your dilemma, but I cannot help anyone find their password (or anyone elses, for that matter) on any system, and even if I could, I wouldn't offer such assistance. If you have a legitimate situation, call the vendor or service provider.

how do u delete an aim screenname

Linds, you can't. I kid you not. I don't really understand WHY AOL hasn't implemented a 'delete AIM screenname' capability, but even the documentation states it just can't be done.

I was trying unsuccessfully to either delete the aim email account or hide it. This little mail box window just popped up one day on the upper-left corner of my screen and I have to close it each time I sign on. To my knowledge, I don't actually have an aim email account, but AOL wants me to click the box, sign in, and fill out the form to start it up. I have absolutely no interest in doing this and would just like to stop that little mail box from popping up whenever I sign on. Do you know of a way to do this???

I'm trying to get live help from aol and have not been successful.I'm trying to add another user to my account but i can't remember my password to my security question.How can i get this?What do i have to do?
thanks in advance

lambert, if you can't remember your password or security question, there's no way for AOL to properly verify that you're the owner of the account, so you're probably out of luck.

I removed yahoo screen toolbar but the next morning it was back again. How can I get rid of it?

Thanks,

Hi, I made a screename with AIM, but now I want to make it with AOL since it will have my e-mail with ...@aol.com instead of ...@aim.com. Also, I can't sign on AOL with an AIM screename but it's not vice versa since my other screenames are AOL-made but can go on AIM. Is there anyway i can "move" that screename from AIM to AOL since I can't make that screename again with AOL? Thank You.

For some reason AOL gave me a free e-mail account. I do not use this account nor do I want it but it annoys me everytime I sign on AIM. How do I delete or get rid of this e-mail account without deleting my AIM screen name? Thanks for your help.

Lou

i fill out 1 survey. now i get like 50-125 e-mails daily. i hate that. please help me!!

I want to delete bailbond51 from AIM

I've followed all steps shown for to change my aol screen name / e-mail address but it's not working. I don,t like the screen name "zuogeorgewzuo1", I only need georgewzuo1.

Hi Dave, I hope you can help me...I've tried just about everything.
For the past 2 months I haven't been able to delete any screens on my AOL account, and yes I know the the primary screen name cannot be deleted, it's the others that I can't delete.
I go through the proper steps that I've done in the past and when I get to the second page where I would usually click on delete or cancel, only the cancel button is outlined, blue and clickable. The delete button is outlined but not clickable, the sentence written there just runs over it, in fact if I highlight the page its not visible at all but the cancel button is left out and not highlighted.
I hope you understand what I just wrote..lol
I've called aol and nothing worked, I even asked around on the aol help message boards and nothing worked that was suggested there.
Hopefully, maybe you can help me.
Thanks, Alessia

i want to erase an aol account but i cant find account settings to erase it. where can i find it?

Every time I try to do something with screen names, beit create one, delete one or whatever, I get a small thing asking what my pet's name is, but I don't remember filling anything out answering this....and even when I correctly put in what my pet's name is, it still doesn't work then doesnt' allow me to do anything...it didn't used to be this way. I could just change names, delete names, create names, whatever I wanted. What the heck do I do??!!!

i can not seem to add on another screen name. the account settings is saying that this feature is unavailable.

I have tried for over two months to delete a screenname and create a new one. It didn't let me. I was paying $14.95 at the time. I call them AOL Tech HelpLESS.. anyway, now I'm a free member, but I still cannot delete or create a new screenname, and yes I am the master screenname. What gives? AOL should be getting a really bad rep for taking so long to fix this problem. Anyone else having a problem with this? I've done this several times before, I know how. It's just not working now, for over two months. Please advise?

When I try to delete a screen name that isn't the master screen name the only thing that comes up when I click on settings then screen name is.... to customise your master s/n or change or edit it. I have never seen this screen before and have deleted names several times. This is nnot the same screen. How do I delete the s/n?

Your instructions seem simple, but WHERE do I find aol's "account settings" button to follow your simple steps.

Just finished reading all the comments dating back to Aug. 2005. It seems to me that everyone should run as far away from AOL as possible! I am also trying to delete a screen name from my account but continue to get an error saying the service is not available. How convenient for AOL! I won't even try to call them because the customer service I have been receiving lately from many companies I do business with is miserable and an insult to every consumer. We don't deserve this! And AOL will probably try to talk me into paying for their service again! Sorry, Dave, for venting! If you can, please let us all know why AOL does not want us to delete screen names. Thank you!

Dear Dave,
When I started my new AOL Service in 2005, I thought that it was the best ISP Service ever. Then, a few months ago I decided to upgrade my Service with faster speed through another ISP Service. So you see, I paid for both the other ISP Service with Broadband and AOL as well. Then I found out about the free AOL service so I signed up for it to use along with my Broadband Service. Now that the AOL Service is free to me, I can no longer delete or change (Not My Master Screen Name of course) but none of my other six screen names. I think that because the service is free to many of us now, AOL has blocked us from getting into our screen name page, and that because a lot of us want to get to that page so badly, we might just decide to sign up for the paid service which will provide us with full access to all it has to offer for the price. I never thought that they would be giving away free AOL Service, but when they did, I saw no reason to continue paying for two ISP Providers. If I have to pay to have my unwanted names deleted or changed, then I will just have to block out unwanted online buddies instead. Please if you can, try to find out if what I have written is part of the reason why many of us (AOL Customers)
no longer have access to delete or change our Screen Names. I truly need to know the Answer, and I am very Desperate to find out too.

Thank you,
B. D. Wms

Do you have to reinstate aol to delete unwanted screen names? The procedure you described does not work now for reasons others specified,, eg error message saying not in service

AOL BOARD REPOST:
-----------------

Ok, here's some background:

Sometime early 2006 I called and tried to downgrade my AOL service in leu of moving.

A reduced rate plan was chosen and a timeframe to revert given.

I called back way before the time was up to revert.

"We have no record of this, but would you like this slightly higher plan that will ADD a year to your service?"

Not really, but I guess if I want my SN's and such then I'll have to.

Nov/Dec 2006 I try to delete an unwanted SN but all the software showed in the 'Screennames/names' list was the currently logged SN.

Got irritated after weeks of continuously trying and called customer service.

The automated system says I'm a free member and can't get help on the phone(self DC's).

By now I should have STILL another 6-9 months of payments left, but had tinkered in billing to see if it would let me go free once.

Tried the online helpless desk, confused the person by saying I couldn't access things the same way I wrote above, am refered to two phone numbers.

Both numbers plant me in the same automated thing I calle previously.

I tricked it and said I was paid and after a few other wrong buttons got a live person.

After talking to a brick wall explaining the situation I was refered back to the same online area I'd tried that got me on the phone again.

I have 1 aol account, 1aim account, total of 5 SN's and need to delete one of the aol SN's.

Nothing is working, I'm getting the shaft from both ends and the ONLY other alternative that anyone is offering from aol is this:

'If you desire Live-help, then you can always goto BILLING, signup for any plan, then call us back.'

Of the few times I've ever had to ask for help from AOL, this is by far the worst experience ever. On top of this, I can find NO way arround my issue and every department is sending me in circles. If you have REAL help, then let me know. If you understand my plight, then atleast I'm not the only one. If you're from aol design team or tech support, then I have a place to put this shiny CD and it's not back in my software binder!!!!!

Pyromethious@aol.com

I am interested in deleting AIM screenames, is that possible? I use 5.9 if that makes a difference.

Like all the others that want to get rid of unwanted aim screen names, I too want to do the same thing I have sooooooo many...@aim.com I wanna get rid of

Nowe that aol went free, its awesome, I can create a mass army of aol screen names, enough for ppl to spam the hell out of them (LOL)

i want to delete my account but it wont let me

I am not on my home computer and I can't find Account settings on the computer I am using...therefore I can't change my screen name or delete one....where do I find account settings?

i want to delete some screen names from my free aol account but every time i click the link for the screen names it says navigation stopped and this is when im on the master screen name

please cancel my aol mail box.
there are no place i could find cancelling my personal free aol acount.

A 7 yr. AOL customer still has serious complaints.
Many - many complaints thru the months & years - are NOT getting me an answer- much less,action.
(1) We are elderly & "PAY FOR" CALL ALERT thru
AT&T but for 6 months & NO SOUND...we can no longer receive those alerts because there is:
" NO SOUND " When I cancelled iTUNES (it never
worked either)---AOL took my sound with it BUT would NOT admit it.
(2) I have been trying for 2 years to get 4 old,unuseable screen names deleted or changed -NO
chance!

I am exhausted but I have more AOL problems that probably wont get attention either!

I have aol instant messagner...this is a free service...however I do not want this instant messanger...how do I delete the screen name so that no one else can login into instant messagner with that screen name??? please emamil me back as soon as you can!!! remember I do not pay for this screen name...so I can not go to aol and delete the screen name...because I am not paying for this screen name....

Hi how can i delete my aol account

Dave, When I bring down a list of my screen names, only my master screen name shows up. I want to delete one of the names, but, it doesn't show up. I'm on "free" aol. I go to settings account names, but only the master name shows up. I know you've answered this before, but I can't find your answer board. Thanks--Sam

What happens if I cannot remember the password for my master account. I can't get access in order to pick a new password. help!

i want to delete the primary email because i no longer use that version of aol. i had another aol account before this one was started for me without me authorizing it. how do i do this?

I WANT TO DELETE MY SCREEN NAME

after being a paid member to AOL for 11 years, i now have the free aol because of the high speed internet. i would like to delete and make new names on my account, leaving my main s/n as the original name for the account...however, when i go into screen names, under settings, the option to delete, create, restore is there but there is no link to it.....can i not delete, create or restore my old AOL names with my free account?

I am like most of the people who have left comments saying that they are having trouble deleting screennames. I too have the free AOL and think this may be the reason. I've tried to find a contact email address but can't find one anywhere, mostly because I don't have access to it.

Dave -- why haven't you responded to any of the people on this message board who have had the same complaints as me?

I'm frustrated as well and would appreciate some help! Thanks for you time!

I no longer want this account no this user name and don't want anyone to have access to that user name while I still have it under my info.

It's important to note that when AOL switched to free account as an option, they didn't mention that free accounts CANNOT make changes to screen names, add new screen names, etc. I'm sure that's your problem, Brenda. Sorry!!

Hi,

How do delete and add a screen names.It
says error page!

i hate my aol screename
it sucks

well i juz wanted 2 say thank u 4 your service bu ti juz didnt wanted 2 have aol internet

Hello, I´m not US resident & I created an email account with AOL (they said it´s free). So now I´d like to cancel the mail account, but you said that´s imposible. Anyway, it´s free, how they said?? I don´t want to have any surprises later, to pay something or etc. It´s really free??

Look Dave...even if you have Windows it is almost impossible to find the account settings on the home page. I really wish you could give helpful advice to help me find it. This is not an insult to you in any way, i would be very grateful if you could help me out. some guy has been bugging me from multiple screen names and i have a new one, but i really need help to delete this old one. I am tired of it, seriously. I am very sorry that this comment is so long but i am desperate to get rid of it. i want the whole account deleted and gone. i dont want e-mail or aim on this screen name...i want it deleted. if i dont delete it i will be very tempted to get on it and that can get me into big trouble. being 13 aim is my social life and i cant live much longer in not having aim. i need to know dave, how do i get to the account settings? please help me. if you can give me any direction at all, please e-mail me. this site is here to help aol customers right? well i feel that if im paying for it i should be able to delete it. so please help. i need you for this. if there is ANY way you can help me at all, please e-mail me at hayley0720@yahoo.com thank you Dave!! please help me though.

Hi, I made a screename with AIM, but now I want to make it with AOL since it will have my e-mail with ...@aol.com instead of ...@aim.com. Also, I can't sign on AOL with an AIM screename but it's not vice versa since my other screenames are AOL-made but can go on AIM. Is there anyway i can "move" that screename from AIM to AOL since I can't make that screename again with AOL? Thank You.

Yo Dave! I'll by you a chai if you update this post.

i can't find account settings!!!!!

we want to cancel AOL because of the charges from $9.90 per month to $11.90 without anybody's OK

To delete a screen name registered with an AOL® Premium Service like AOLbyPhone™, you will first need to unsubscribe from the Premium Service, and then delete the screen name.

To delete your screen name, do the following:
1. Go to https://bill.aol.com.
2. Sign in with a master screen name. Type the answer to your Account Security Question, and then click Continue.
3. Under Screen Names, click Manage Screen Names.

4. In the Additional Screen Names box, under Delete, click X ( ) against the screen name that you wish to delete.

5. Click Delete.

6. A confirmation message is displayed.

AOL is not the best site today way many trolls & stalkers & Child predators. I thought about having aol delete my aol. Worst site ever. All though most people are careful still by reporting they only are cut offline for short times then back online. There is many whack jobs who thinks it's funny to send out e-mails talking about people's kids or using harassment & Sometimes it's the same person but on different accounts. Just sick. I see way many nuts on that site so I really may delete my account. It's worse then any other sites / computer services I been onto.

I CANNOT, no matter how hard I try delete my free aol screen name and I believe someone has "hacked" into it. I need to get rid of it.

I finally found the link to delete screen names and it tells me I don't havee access to that site! Very user UNfriendly without paying a monthly fee. I got no help from the person on the line when I called. Very frusterating, unacceptable service.

i have to im trying to get rid of one

Hi Dave!
Could you please tell me how I permanently delete an old email address that is in my already deleted file...the restore area? Aol threatens that the address will not be there after 6 months but I have had them in there for over 3 years. I want them gone from the restore area permanently if possible?! Thank you for your assistance!

I have recently discovered that some unwanted people are using my aol email address. They have it listed as their email address but it's mine..What do I do to block them from being able to use it. I pay for my aol they don't and don't have my permission to use any part of it.. Thank you.. Please email me with what to do and send me phone number for aol member services or whomever I need to talk to about all of this. My email is ccaf157@aol.com

Dave, sorry if this question has been covered in the responses, but there were SO many responses on this topic, I gave up trying to read through them all. :)

My question is this: I cancelled my "paid" AOL account and opted for the free AOL account around 6-8 months ago. When I went in to check my account (we are doing our taxes) I noticed AOL has been charging us .84 cents (almost a dollar) every month although we are signed up for the free account. I started to delete my account completely but was alerted that I would lose my email address. I also found that AOL won't let me delete my credit card info (to avoid these charges) -- the only option is to CHANGE this information to another form of payment. Can AOL legally do this -- this is not a free account. I wonder how many people notice this? And is this old news to most people and I'm just one of the few who didn't know? Thanks a bunch.

in the uk and have had a free email with aol for nearly 10 years no probs. svnabrice@aol.com is still my address when i send an email but to receive an email back you have to use the address svnabrice@aol.co.uk. how do i change my outgoing address to svnabrice@aol.co.uk? in my transactions is shows on 24/5/11 I changed my priceplan and aol services then reactivated my account (i didnt do anything!) since then no emails have be able to get through to svnabrice@aol.com. can u help im desperate to keep my email address. thanks

To delete your aol account OR the sofware from your system .GO to control panel , then find the subject / aol you want to remove , you may have more than one virsion , So the system will scan your computer and show how many virsion you have , high light the one you want to remove . IF you want to instal the same software . go to aol and like new pesron who like to get aol as new member but but >>> it will ask you "new member " or " allready a member " you click on allready a member this way you get rid of the old software and reload new virsion . YOU SHOULD KNOW if you want virsion (9.6 has no Aim ) ( or virsion 10.2 has Aim ) . To remove Aim you GO 2 CONTROL PANEL find and delete the aol virsion (10.2 ) then reinstal aol virsion ( 9.6 ) .

Aol virsion 9.6 has no aim . aol virsion 10.2 has aim .GO 2 control panel / remove aol from system / if you want aol without aim . you instal aol virsion 9.6 has no aim .

please delete me from my aol account

it has been quite a while since i have this email address but would like to change my password. I don't remember all the answer to the questions you require. but please help me change my password as someone has beem=n using it

Dave that doesnt help. You are actually showing how to delete an additional screen name. How do you delete that whole account??
