Thanks for reply. Actually I need to delete this account because in this my username is incorrect i.e. its Raj Kumar Aora and with this is associated my primary mail id i.e. er_rajarora@yahoo.com.

The correct one is username Raj Kumar Arora and with this is associated my secondary mail id i.e. Raj.K.Arora@saic.com.

Now what I want is to use my username Raj Kumar Arora and to be associated with er_rajarora@yahoo.com.

How can I do that.

Regards,
Raj Kumar Arora
