How to Cancel a LinkedIn Account

LinkedIn lets you connect with other professionals in your field anywhere around the world.

LinkedIn is an online social media network that lets you connect with others in your same profession, business or business ventures. The service is similar to other social media networks, and requires you to create a login account and set up a profile with your picture and other personal information. LinkedIn is free to join, but certain services do require you to pay a fee. Like other networks, you are able to cancel your LinkedIn account and end your membership with the service.

Instructions

1. Open your computer's Internet browser and navigate to Linkedin.com. Log into your account, if you are not already signed in, by entering your email address and password. Click "Sign In."

2. Navigate to LinkedIn's customer service email page.

3. Enter the email address you use to log into LinkedIn and your first and last name in the boxes next to "Your Email Address," "Your First Name" and "Your Last Name."

4. Enter "Please Close My LinkedIn Account" or similar wording in the "Subject" box. Enter your full name, email address used to log into LinkedIn and a short message stating you want to cancel your LinkedIn account in the "Question" box.

5. Click "Continue." Click the "Finish Submitting Question" button to send your message to LinkedIn. You will receive the following message, "Your question has been submitted to LinkedIn. The ticket reference number for your question is: #," confirming your email.
