Tired of trying to delete an online account but it doesn't just go away.
Try these direct links to delete from the following sites:

LinkedIn
To close an account, log in, click Account & Settings at the top of the page, then click Close Your Account (under Personal Information). Give a reason you're leaving—most sites want to know what they can improve, or did wrong— and then click Continue.
MySpace
Sign in, click the My Account link, then click Account, scroll down to the bottom, and click Cancel Account.
MyLife
This is how to remove yourself from this accountReunion
Amazon
On the E-Mail tab, you'll find a form. One of the items listed is "Issue," which has a drop-down menu. Select "Close My Account." Write a brief note to Amazon telling them why, and send it off. You're done.
Audible
Amazon's arm for audiobooks has an Account Details link on every page. Click it, verify your password, and look for the Make Changes to My Membership link. The next page is where you change the type of membership you have, but if you scroll down you'll see a Cancel Membership Plan link as an option. This won't appear if you've already tried to cancel the account at some point.
Blockbuster
Sign in at Blockbuster.com and select My Account. On the left-hand side you should see a Cancel link.
Ebay
To close an eBay account altogether, visit the Close my eBay Account page.
iTunes
What you can do is make sure that no credit card is associated with the account, so that future purchases are impossible. Open the iTunes application, go to the Store menu, select Sign In or View My Account (depending on whether you've used the account recently), sign in, click Edit Payment Information, and select "none" next to credit card. After that, you need to contact iTunes Store Support via the contact form to cancel.

Visit the Your Account: Cancel Membership page, check the box next to "I accept and understand the terms of cancellation and want to cancel my account." Click Continue. You're done.
Paypal
To close your PayPal account, log in, click the Profile link, click the Close Account link (it's in the Account Information section) and you'll be asked to verify that you're the account owner by entering either your credit card number or a bank account number. Click Submit, then, finally, the Close Account button.

You're now on the Delete a Product page. From here you can remove your accounts for Gmail.
Windows Live Search
There's an Account link at the bottom of most pages at Live.com, visible after you sign in. This page lets you edit your contact information, passwords and security questions, and more. At the bottom under Additional Options, you'll see the link for Close Account. If all goes well, you'll enter your password and that's it.
Yahoo
First, cancel any premium services with the company, such as Web hosting or selling. You'll find that on the Yahoo Billing Information page. After that, visit the Account Deletion page. You'll get a long page that spells out how this affects access to Yahoo services, and a notice that deactivation and deletion can take as long as 90 days, which Yahoo claims "is necessary to discourage users from engaging in fraudulent activity." And by canceling, someone else can come in and sign up using your old ID, though they won't be able to access any of your old data, of course.
Hopefully you'll be deleted.
