Q: Can I delete one of my old AIM screen names?
A: No, you cannot delete old AIM screen names at this time. However, you can prevent other users from finding one of your screen names by performing the following steps: Windows: Select the My AIM menu, click My Options, and then click Edit Preferences. After the window appears, click the Controls tab, and click Nothing about me. Macintosh: Select the Edit menu, and click Preferences. After the window appears, click the Controls tab, and click Nothing about me. You can also and remove any information from your profile that would lead other users to find your screen name. You can access your profile from My AIM menu on Windows or the People menu on Mac OS.August 5, 2004 at 5:36 pm #74959gossipingraeMemberi wanted to delete it only because I don’t use it anymore, and I just don’t want anyone else to use it…i used that screen name when I was first new to aim back in like 2000 and I only had like 3 ppl on my list…so I guess i’ll just forget about it. thanks guys!
