Can I recover old account through username or get help deleting the forgotten account to...

Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor. I am happy to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that. If you have forgotten your Minecraft account password, you can reset it by following the instructions on the Minecraft website. If you log in with a username rather than an email address, your account is outdated. However, you can still reset the account’s password using the field above. If you have forgotten the email address associated with your account, you can recover your lost account by contacting Mojang support through their official website. Ensure that you provide all the necessary details such as your account name, email address, and any other necessary information. In case you have forgotten your password, you can reset it by following the password reset link sent to your email address.

Unfortunately, it might be very tricky recovering your Minecraft account with just the username.

I hope this helps.

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,

Ben

Thank you so much Ben, I used the username recover page to recover my old username but because it was a microsoft generated username i cant remember it. Is there any way to unhide the username so i can open my account again?

If you have forgotten the information to the other account you can go through the "forgot password" steps. There are also further steps if you have forgotten the username.

Hey there, Nam Nguyen1

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Did your son put his phone number on the Microsoft account?

If so, he would be able to sign into the account using the phone number through this link here: Recover your username (live.com) . This article walks you through what you can do if you have forgotten the Microsoft account email: You forgot your Microsoft account username

If you have an Xbox, you can find the email address you have used by going to your account settings. This article may help: Find your Microsoft account email address | Xbox Support

Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you need help recovering your email.

Sorry to hear about what happened there, email is really important for us to recover the account and if you forget that, you may also try retrieving your email using an your security proofs like an alternate email or phone through this link:

Just a heads up, that this is the only option to recover your email on the account most especially when this has been forgotten. Microsoft is strict when it comes to account security.
