Step 4: Click the “Personal Information” tab, it is the first tab you will see on the left.
Step 5: Locate the “Account” section of this page. You will find it
next to the box titled “Membership Status.”
Step 6: Select “Delete your Flickr account” at the bottom of the account section.
Expect to see a complete sentence that says “You can also get help with your account or delete your Flickr account.”
Step 7: Click “OK”
Step 8: Reenter your password to confirm that you are the one deleting your account so no one will delete your account without your permission.
Step 9: Offer final confirmation by acknowledging the following statement presented by Flickr before they delete your account: “Yes, I fully understand that all my photos and videos and metadata will be permanently deleted.”
Please, note that if you are deleting your Flickr account as a result of your screen name, Flickr provides options for you to change your screen name.
