Cancel SubscriptionsĪlthough closing your account should cancel any subscriptions that you have, it’s better to go ahead and cancel those first to prevent any additional charges in the future. Because Microsoft Office encompasses several features, subscriptions, and secondary software, we’ll walk you step-by-step through the process of closing your Skype account. Your Skype account is linked to your Microsoft Office account so the process isn’t as simple as clicking a ‘Delete’ button and moving on with your life. However, if you’re having second thoughts skip ahead. Now, if you’re ready to delete everything we’ve listed, follow the next steps.


Lastly, any contacts, emails, or personal information will also disappear forever.

Other services like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint will also close so be sure to transfer those documents elsewhere. If your Xbox Live account is tied to your Microsoft account (and that’s tied to your Skype account), you’ll lose game progress, purchases, and more.
