How to delete your Amazon account

Amazon's Prime Day kicks off Tuesday, July 11, and runs through July 12. That means deals and lots of great shopping opportunities. If you're interested in the best deals, Mashable has you covered.

Or maybe some are deciding to back off Amazon shopping altogether, with Prime Day as good as any to stop. Whatever the case, here are the simple steps you need to take to delete your Amazon account.
