    Can I get my old account names released?


    Hi. So here's the quick story, back in 2010 I had a friend who used the name McCandyPanda, and he changed his name to iOtterBro. And back then, as a joke I made a whole new account, using his old McCandyPanda gamertag. But since then, I have completely forgotten the email and password I have used for that account. And he's been asking me for me to change the name for years now, but I have been unable to do so. I've read stuff on the forums say how accounts are deleted after 5 years but the name can't be released if the account is still active outside of xbox, but I KNOW it's not active since I was the one that made it. So is there anyone I can talk to to possibly get this gamertag released? Please and thank you!

    :)

    Can I get my old account names released?

    There's no way to request it to be freed up.

    Gamertag change

    Is there anyway I can change a name of an old account of mine and then change my main accounts name to that?
    Yes. If you change the name on the old account it'll free up the gamertag for use so you can change it to that.

    Why is my deleted account still possible to be viewed over Xbox Live?

    All old accounts are keeped for a certain time limit and cannot be reused until it is released. periodically old account names a made reusable but this is done at random.
