Flickr is one of the world’s most popular photo sharing websites, but if you aren’t a professional or semi-pro photographer, how much do you really use your Flickr account? Chances are that it only stores a few pictures of yourself and your friends — maybe from several years ago. Chances are that even you have little interest in looking at them again, so why are they still out there in the search engines for anyone to see? Delete and cancel your Flickr account with these simple steps.
