How to Delete a MySpace Account Belonging to an Underage Member

MySpace is subject to many of the same problems that are also inherent to the all other sites. One particular difficulty is the fact that some accounts are opened by underage members, in direct violation of their minimum age requirements.

For parents, the procedures for deletion of an underage MySpace account fall into the following two primary categories. Regardless of which method is utilized, the site promises that ALL information contained in a deleted account is purged from the site.

1. A parent decides that a child’s account should be closed, and the child is cooperative, the normal procedures are:

- Logon to MySpace
- Click “Account Settings”
- On the “Change Account Settings” page, click on “-Cancel Account-“
- Click on the “Cancel My Account” button in the confirmation box.
- Include remarks if desired; then click on the second “Cancel My Account” button to complete the request process.
- A cancellation message will be sent to the email address of record. Replying to this email is required in order to complete the automated account closure process.
