How can I get minecraft account without a xbox account

so you just make the Microsoft account, it's free

Hello, I want to delete my Minecraft account without causing any impact to my Microsoft account.

Can anyone kindly offer step by step instructions on how to do this please?

You can't. Your Microsoft account IS your minecraft account. They are one in the same so you cant delete one without deleting the other.

So whenever I log onto Minecraft with my Microsoft account it logs me into Xbox/Microsoft related apps with that account, that’s just a bug? I hope they resolve it or change it in some way so I can login to a different account on Xbox then a different account on Minecraft without having to keep signing in and stuff. Also how do I reinstall the old Minecraft launcher or find it on my pc, I deleted it after installing the new one

I understand. So the question changes to how can I get rid of my xbox account without deleting my live account so that I can create a new xbox account. Can you help with that?

I followed the link and made an account. my problem is all the things my son purchased in minecraft without logging in since he didn't have an account isn't transferring over to his microsoft account. how can I get the items purchased before he has an account on his iPad (that he is still playing on) to be under his microsoft account. Thank you for your help.
