Then scroll to very bottom of page and click on Privacy Policy

Terminating your Yahoo! Account
Your Yahoo! ID: [_________________]
Your Profiles:... [_________________]
Before continuing, please consider the following information. By terminating this account, you will lose your Yahoo! ID, Mail address, and Profile names. We will also delete your account data and settings across the Yahoo! network. This includes the contents of your HotJobs, Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Address Book, Yahoo! Small Business, Yahoo! GeoCities, Yahoo! Briefcase, My Yahoo! and more. Account deletion will also terminate any paid services that you own with this Yahoo! ID. You may not be able to recover payments remitted for these services or the data associated with these accounts. If you have not already done so, please verify that you have no active premium services before deleting your Account. To view and cancel your current subscriptions, visit Yahoo! Billing Information for your account, choose the "My Services" tab, and click the "Cancel" link for each subscription. Please note: As of August, 2010, deleting your Yahoo! ID will result in the automatic deletion of your Flickr account. After an account is deleted, the photos, along with the stats and all metadata are permanently removed. Once this action is taken, it cannot be undone. In most cases your account will be deactivated and then deleted from our user registration database in approximately 90 days. This delay is necessary to discourage users from engaging in fraudulent activity. Additionally, due to the limited number of names available, we may allow other users to sign up for and use your current Yahoo! ID and profile names after your account has been deleted. Click here to learn what information may possibly remain in our archived records after your account has been deleted. Terminating your Yahoo! Account does not alter or delete your Yahoo! People Search listing, which you need to edit or delete yourself. To satisfy terms agreed to in the Yahoo! Finance Terms of Service, personal information for users subscribed to Yahoo! Finance Premium Services will be kept by Yahoo! for at least 3 years after the subscription date.
We are sorry to see you go!
Are you sure you want to terminate your Yahoo! Account?
If so, please confirm your identity with your password.

Do you really want to cancel it? If it is a free account keep it, let it fade away if you like but check it from time to time, giving your new address to your regulars and changing others who crop up. Meanwhile I find it useful to hav e two accounts (old Outlook Express and a web address) - I send checking messages from one to the other occasionally, (sometimes get better prints of attachments from one than the other) and have been glad to have an alternative when the other has a hiccup.

Agree with Elizabeth .... let it fade away gently whilst taking from it what you want to keep / transfer.
Also, each free provider generally has a different way to delete, be it Google, Live, Yahoo or whomever - some are more complicated than others, typically.
