How to Remove a Flickr Account: Flickr is a social media website that allows registered users to search for and share photos on their server for free. We just got an email from a reader who wishes to deactivate their account from the Flickr website. After researching this issue, we discovered that many users are cancelling their accounts due to email spamming or are choosing alternate platforms to share photographs.
If you only remove this account due of email spamming or newsletter subscriptions, you may unsubscribe from their emails by flagging them as spam in your email account or clicking the unsubscribe button at the bottom of the email. If you have another reason, I am providing you with step-by-step instructions on how to completely erase your account from their database.
