How to delete subscription to computing.net

You aren't paying anything for the "subscription", so you can just leave it be and never login under the other username anymore. If it's something you feel you have to do, then PM Justin again to have the other info deleted. "Channeling the spirit of jboy..."

If the problem is that you are receiving email from computing.net at both email adresses, then log on with the user name that you want to disable, go to "My Home" at the top of any page, then "Settings". Under "Site Settings" "Set/Change", uncheck the box "E-mail me about my postings and replies." I think that will stop emails to that account. -- Jeff, in Minneapolis

Jeff Root, The core problem is that I am constantly having problems with my Microsoft account login. MS is not the most friendly place if your password has to be recovered. have in my time been locked out a few times. Maybe that it has to do with my dislike for MS, but I started with it in 1982 on the first Commodore office computer, after struggling with writing my own ascii program on a 5.25 inch floppy and I stuck with it, with a short interruption of Linux.

To say what is probably obvious, an account on computing.net and a Microsoft account are not connected in any way, and have very little in common. So your concern seems misplaced. I have been on a forum like this one where the rules did not permit a user to have multiple accounts. That makes no sense to me, since if some problem arises with one account, it can be useful to have a second one ready to use just as you did. There is no particular reason to delete or disable it that I can see. -- Jeff, in Minneapolis
