If you’re addicted, try limiting, rather than deleting your Minecraft experience. You might try putting a strict limit on the amount you can play each day; that way, you’ll have lots of other time to do other things. While it may seem hard at first, the self-restraint you’ll learn from this will actually help you in many other ways. Because there is a monetary value associated with a Minecraft account, it may be preferable to give the account away to someone who might get enjoyment out of it, rather than deleting it completely.

Uninstalling the software but leaving the account intact is another option, as it’ll give you the opportunity to return to it if you ever have a change of heart.

If you only recently purchased the account (within the past 30 days) and want to delete it, you should send Mojang an email requesting a refund.
