can i unlink/disconnect an xbox account from a microsoft account an if so how?

i got an xbox off of my older brother and have always used his account, he now has bought an xbox and we dont want to share an account the account is connected to his microsoft email which is his main email, i have used the account more and would prefer to keep the account with ,y save data and name. is there a way to unlink the xbox account and microsoft account so he can keep his email and make a new account for his new xbox? ive tried waht i thought was changing the email on the xbox account but it turned out i changed the email on the microsoft account.

The Xbox account IS the Microsoft account and vice versa.

There isnt a way to unlink the xbox and Microsoft account without it causing his Microsoft email to be permanently deleted since they are all one in the same.

Removing your brothers Microsoft email from the account would cause it to be deleted forever and since Microsoft doesnt recycle emails for deleted accounts he would not be able to use it to create a new Microsoft account.

Basically there is no way to do what you want to do without negatively affecting your brothers Microsoft email.

Hello, MrssFury. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

I would like to let you know that your Xbox profile is permanently linked to your Microsoft account. Therefore, you can't link it to another profile or vice versa.

Not only that, but it is important to mention that you can change the email address associated with your Microsoft account. However, you can't use an email that's already associated with a Microsoft account.

You will get an error if you try to do that.

More information about changing the email address associated with your Microsoft account is available here:

Furthermore, please refrain from sharing personal information, including email addresses, order numbers, gamertags, etc.

I am attempting to connect my microsoft account with my Ps4 account. My microsoft account is already connected to a Ps4 minecraft account. How do I find what Minecraft account is using my microsoft account and to disconnect it from it.

Even if you could disconnect it you wont be able to link a different Microsoft account.

Per https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360037725571-Minecraft-for-PlayStation-4-FAQ

Note: Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation® account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation™ Network account can be associated with a different account. 

If you choose to unlink accounts, then purchases will be returned to the account which made the purchase. Even after unlinking, Microsoft and PlayStation® accounts can only be re-linked to the original account.

Note: As of March 15, 2023, please DO NOT unlink your MSA from your PlayStation account via the in-game menu. You will be unable to link it back if you do so.

This is a restriction imposed by Sony.

Easiest is unlinking your wrong Skype account from your Microsoft account from your computer's browser. Follow the instructions here:

After unlinking you can start the linking process again and pick the right Skype account this time around:
