  1. I want to REMOVE my Xbox profile from my Microsoft account.


    Yesterday, I went to sign in with my Nintendo Switch and I was prompted for an xbox nametag change. It indicated I could keep my current username from my switch but it would not allow that. Now, I have an Xbox nametag -- I am a grandmother who has never owned an xbox, play station, etc... Nintendo Switch was a birthday gift and I cross play Minecraft with my 6 y.o. grandson in another state. Now he is no longer my friend and his realm doesn't show up!!!

    I went on my Microsoft.com account and I see an Xbox profile and Skype profile. Some say you can remove it, some say you can't. I am fairly tech savvy but I need help. There is nothing that indicates a "remove account" option. Please advise. It sucks that things couldn't have been left alone -- I don't know if it was an update that caused this to pop up and I was dumb enough to fall for it. I guess I could always cancel my Nintendo subscription and my Microsoft account and start over but what a PITA!!!

    2 xbox accounts, 1 microsoft account

    Thanks for the reply. I dont want to transfer any data from the account, i just want to remove my information from it so that i can make my own. Unfortunately, when i removed my email from the Microsoft account it still remained linked somehow. When i set up a new xbox account and went to my Microsoft profile, i was on the same account as my cousin (same Microsoft, different username) even though my email has already been removed. Can I continue to use these two xbox accounts separately while theyre on the same Microsoft account? I don’t want to accidentally delete my cousin’s purchases or have problems with my account down the road.

    How do you unlink an xbox live account with a microsoft account?

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you want to unlink an xbox live account with a microsoft account.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    To set your expectations properly, you cannot directly unlink an Xbox Live account (your Xbox profile) from a Microsoft account it is because the Xbox Live account is essentially a part of your Microsoft account and they are intrinsically linked.

    Removing the Xbox profile from your console only removes it from that specific device, not from your overall Microsoft account.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    remove xbox profile from my microsoft account

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello T.i.k.i.B8r, unfortunately it is not possible to remove an Xbox profile from a Microsoft account they are one thing only.

    When you create a Microsoft @outlook.com account for example, it doesn't have a gamertag or Xbox profile, but from the moment you sign in to an Xbox console or sign in to the Xbox website, it creates the profile, and once you advance your profile, you can't delete it.
