Deleting an Outlook email account is a complicated but accessible task. If you have access to the account, it is possible to delete it directly. Otherwise, Microsoft allows legitimate heirs to recover the deceased's data in the form of a CD.
However, providing the necessary legal documents can be a daunting task. Digital Rest can help facilitate this process by ensuring all required documents are provided to Microsoft and by assisting in recovering the deceased's account data.
First, go to the account closure procedure.
Here is the information needed to recover the account:
- Outlook email address
- First and last name of the person
- Date of birth and address at the time the account was created
- The period the account was created
- The last time the account was used
- Your postal address
- The type of computer you are using and its operating system
To close your account, Outlook may ask you to provide additional documents, such as a death certificate. Make sure you have these documents ready. You can learn more about the requirements for closing an Outlook account here.
