Is there a way to recover information on a deleted microsoft account? The account was...

there is no way that you can remove a Microsoft account they don't delete or remove

So the only way that you can recover that gamertag is if u know the gammertag and Microsoft account call Xbox Support and they help you to recover account

Microsoft Support

You can recover your son's gamertag by selecting 'recover gamertag' from the xbox menu, just so long as you can remember his email address associated with his account and the password or the recovery information.

However, if you or someone else called Microsoft and asked for the account to be deleted then there unfortunately is no way of getting the account back as it will be lost forever.

Hope this helps and stay safe.

good evening

To recover a deleted Microsoft account, try the following steps:

Go to the Microsoft account recovery page: https://account.live.com/acsr

Fill out the form with the email address, phone number, or username associated with the deleted account.

If the account information you entered doesn't match any existing accounts, you'll see a message saying that the account can't be found.

If you have any other email addresses or phone numbers associated with the account, try entering those instead.

Note: If you can't remember any of the information associated with the deleted account, you may not be able to recover it.

Hi! My name is Ben a fellow member here in the community, not part of Microsoft. Hope you are doing well!

That is strange that your account got deleted as adding a phone number for recovery information wouldn't delete it, it will only got deleted if you have deleted the account manually on the Microsoft account page.

It is possible that your gamertag is associated on a different email address than the one you have tried to check. Do you remember having another email account that you might have used for Xbox or other Microsoft services? Once you sign in your account at https://account.xbox.com/profile page you will see here the gamertag and if its the correct one it will show the "ImpliedGarlic95" gamertag.

You may also try to recover your username via this page by entering your phone number https://account.live.com/username/recover

I hope the information helps in recovering your account. Feel free to post back if you need more help and we will try with the best of our knowledge to assist.

Kind regards,
