This may seem naive, but – a friend of mine cut off her yahoo personals some months before meeting a significant other. She continued to recive Yahoo personals alert on her email, even after she was no longer a member, she was still appearing on their site (sans picture) even though inactive and told that she would be removed after 3 months. She managed to finally get herself removed but continued to receive alerts for replies to her profile. WHAT GIVES WITH THOSE GUYS – How do you escape their clutches??
Fairly straightforward answer: according to the Yahoo Personals help site, you need to do the following:
If you would like to delete your Yahoo! Personals profile, please visit:
Personals.Yahoo.Com
You may need to sign in using your Yahoo! ID and password.
When you get there, you’ll need to click on Edit Profile then Delete your profile on the upper right hand side of the page. You should be able to get the same functionality by clicking on this link: Delete your Yahoo Personals profile.
Here’s where I think your friend might have gotten tripped up, though:
“If you have a profile posted, deleting your profile will not cancel your subscription. If you would like to cancel your subscription, please click on the “Billing Info” link located on the home page.”
Your friend should also change their privacy settings on their Personals account, if they can, to make sure their profile isn’t searchable:
See the option I chose here? You’d want to, um, I mean your “friend” would want to choose the same.
Good luck!

I DEFINATELY WANT TO CANCEL MY PERSONALS SUBSCRIPTION I WAS ONLY ABLE TO PAY $13.99 PER MONTH AND THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT I WAS DOING OR THIS IS THE WAY THAT YAHOO MADE IT SEEM. PLEASE!

I am trying to cancel Yahoo as my home page. How do I do that?
i would like to terminate my yahoo account
Per pass comemt,I was informed that my personals account would be cancel this Aug. Will this happend as schduel.
THANKYOU!!!! IT took me hours and hours of pure frustration and misleading “yahoo personals” instructions to finally get rid of the personals Auto-Renew feature!!! Did it tho! Happy camper now!
I just spent an hour figuring this out so I’d like to share how I was able to finally find the cancellation method. It is actually pretty strait forward, though not obvious.
Step 1. Log into your personals account.
Step 2. Look above your personal photo and you will see something that says: “My Personals Status in the dark header bar. Look to the right of that and you’ll see a link called: “Billing Info”. Press that link and you’ll be asked for your password again.
Step 3. To the right of the page you’ll see two links. One says “Manage Services” and the one above that says: “View Service Details”. Select manage Services.”
Now your off to the races.
