Can i retrieve my old gamertag from deleted account?

Thank you very much for the link but one thing i don't understand is if i delete the gamertag my XBOX LIVE account is on on my old console will i still be able to retrieve the gamertag on my new console when it comes????????????

kinda same issue here.

so two years ago i deleted my ms account now two years late got a xbox one and created a new account but now i want my old gamertag back so thinking my old account had been deleted i tried to change my gamertag to my old gamertag but got a message that
"that gamertag has already been taken" then i searched about that gamertag and found out that my old account hadnt been deleted yet and then when i tried to log in to my old account it said " there is no account by that email address". so i guess that old
ms account got deleted but not the xbl account as i can still see my old gamertag,acchivement,account description and all.so is there any way to recover that old xbl account or the gamertag now by deleting that old xbl account so that gamertag be available
to put in my new account?

im searching for a solution too.let me know if u find one.

So you deleted the account that was used to purchase the games? If that's the case, the only way to play them with a different gamertag would be if your console was set as your original gamertag's home Xbox, which, presumably it's not, as that's why the games aren't launching. There is no way to set that console as your original gamertag's home Xbox now, as the account no longer exists.

Purchases can't be transferred from one account to the other and as you deleted the account that purchased the games, I don't think there's anything you can do. That's assuming I'm understanding the situation correctly.

I'm not saying that (maybe my english it's not the best). I have and old GFWL account with the gamertag "SrTommy". Now I have a new X-Box Live account with the gamertag "". I would like to delete my old GFWL account so I can change my new gamertag
to my old one.

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

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello RoNinja5, I'm so sorry to say but in order to access your Xbox Live account and other Microsoft services, you need to know the email address and password you used to set up your Microsoft account. Xbox Support can’t provide this information, even if you know your gamertag.

If you've forgotten your account/username/gamertag and if you’ve forgotten which email address see the Lost Account Solution link:

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro...

a. Recover using your Alternate phone number or email address:

1. All you need to do is to go to https://account.live.com

2. Click on Sign in

3. Choose sign in options

4. Choose Forgot my username from there you will be ask for alternate email or phone number that you use with that account, if you enter it correctly then you will be able to see the right email for your account.

If none of these methods work you'll have to remember your Microsoft account.
