    Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Microsoft account. No worries, let me help you sort this out.

    It's important to note that this is a public user-to-user community forum, and none of us here work for Microsoft.

    If I may ask, did you remove the primary email address of your Microsoft account prior to this error?

    According to a fellow independent advisor, Diane Poremsky [ M365 MVP ]: You will need to contact Microsoft to have the address restored to the Xbox account.

    Use the contact links at the bottom of this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-account-475c9b5c-8c25-49f1-9c2d-c64b7072e735

    For reference link: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-account/1ea46aa9-8017-4093-b3d3-669ba76dce50

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best Regards,
    Darhyl

    Greetings, and welcome to the Xbox Community! Connect with players from around the world, get help when you need it, and share your gaming journey.

    From what you’ve shared, it looks like your account might have been deleted because of inactivity or possibly even hacked (this most likely since your account is recently created).

    That message saying, “We couldn’t find an account with that username,” usually means the account isn’t in their system anymore. If you try to create a new email with the same username, it’ll probably say something like “that username already exists” or something similar. That’s normal because Microsoft doesn’t recycle email addresses, they block the username from being used again.

    Here’s a post from one of our MVPs that explains what you’re dealing with in more detail: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/fo.... Give it a look, it might help clarify things.

    Hi Gagan, based on all the information on the post.
    I'm afraid to say that it seems your account has been compromised and the hacker managed to change the email address associated with this account.

    You can try to recover it by following the suggestions provided in the Microsoft interactive guide below:
