Your Amazon account is not cut and dry like most other website accounts due to closure. It's almost as simple as going into your account settings and clicking a button.

You are not essentially jumping through hoops, but closing the Amazon account takes a few more steps before being removed and providing peace of mind.

HOW TO DELETE AMAZON ACCOUNT

You won’t find “Cancel/Deactivate Account” anywhere you look at the location. so as to finally get the method underway, you’ll get to scroll to the bottom of the page to the footer and click on Help within the “Let Us Help You” section.

Scroll down to the "Browse Help Topics" page and need more help? Under the left hand column. It may display the new option in the box on the right. Click Contact Us.

On the next page, Amazon will ask you if you would like to talk with its Chatbot. Unfortunately, in 2019, Amazon has moved the bulk of its help requests to its Chatbot, which suggests you’ll get to cancel it by chatting with the bot.

From there, tell the bot you'd wish to close your account. it'll then ask you to select one among three options. From those options, choose the one associated with Login and security. then, it'll ask you if you would like to talk to a representative since the bot can’t assist you with issues associated with that.

Once you’re chatting with a representative, you'll allow them to know you would like to delete your Amazon account and they’ll get the method started for you. the top result will still be an email providing you with an ETA for account deletion. The timeframe will usually land between 12 and 48 hours, although some lucky folks have had their accounts deleted soon.
