If you’re thinking about closing your Microsoft account, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure you have all of your information backed up. If you close your account before doing this, you’ll lose any data that’s still stored on the account. Next, consider what you’ll need to do to close your account. You may need to provide proof of identity or address if you want to cancel your subscription or access services like SkyDrive or Office 365. Finally, be sure to save any important documents related to your Microsoft account—like passwords and credit card numbers—in a safe place so that you don’t lose them if you close the account. ..
