In plain English
This means bringing the account to an end, not just leaving it unused. After that, the account is inactive and cannot be used.
In context
As a button label, "close account" indicates the action for ending the account so it is no longer active or usable.
- Situation
- Account recovery, locked-account support, reactivation, and closure requests

Meaning limits
The term alone does not say whether ending the account is permanent or can later be reversed.
