Because New World is not a free-to-play MMO, and you have to use it through Steam, it's not possible to permanently delete the game from your library. Also, since there is no such thing as a separate New World account, you don't need to close or cancel that either. 

However, since we have GDPR and other privacy-related laws enacted throughout the world, you can ask Amazon to delete your information totally. There is no formula for this, so you should check out the laws and rules in your country to find something to refer to when writing the email to the company. In most cases, Amazon honors such requests. 

As you can see, removing New World is just as easy as uninstalling World of Warcraft because there is only one launcher to use and no separate account for the game.
