Delete Yahoo account, anyone?

Been trying for days to do this. I get to a page where I put in my password and it says it doesn't recognize it. Try a capta, instead. Still, nothing. I went to Help and asked. They said click Contact Yahoo at bottom of page. No such thing exists on any page I can find.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated. It doesn't seem right to be forced to keep an account if you no longer want it.

TIA

Thank you thank you. What a relief.

They said it would still receive mail for 90 days. As I was getting about 50 spams a day, that's gonna get kind of HUGE by then. I wonder if an auto reply will then go out to all the viagra and rolex sellers, letting them know.
