    Combining Microsoft accounts and removing an unwanted XBL account


    Hi, I have 2 Microsoft accounts and basically I want to combine them.

    One of the accounts has everything to do with Windows, OneDrive, Skype etc. And the other account has my Xbox Live Account with all my games and achievements.

    I wanted to put them both on the same account just so that everything is in the same place and I can stop using my old email from 2011. I spoke to Microsoft Support yesterday and all me managed to do was swap the accounts around which isn't what I wanted
    at all.

    So is there a way of separating my Xbox Live account from a Microsoft account so I move it across?

    Thanks in advance

    :)

  2. Merging accounts on same console to the xbox live account

    So for those of you with two Xbox live accounts (this goes for both Silver and Gold), I'm sorry, but there's no way of combining the two of them or transferring the purchases of one account to the other or pooling together your Game Achievements, Reputation,
    or Microsoft Points.

    There is an entire article about it if you would like to read it to know more.

    Why is this happening?

    Hello kyal sorensen,

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    It sounds like you may have accidentally linked both Xbox accounts to the same Microsoft account. To resolve this issue, you will need to unlink the unwanted Xbox account from your Microsoft account.



    To do this, you can follow these steps:



    1. Sign in to your Microsoft account on the Microsoft website.

    2. Go to the "Security" tab and select "More security options."

    3. Under "Other security settings," select "Apps and websites."

    4. Find the unwanted Xbox account and select "Remove."

    5. Confirm that you want to remove the account.



    Once you have unlinked the unwanted Xbox account from your Microsoft account, you should be able to sign in to your desired Xbox account without any issues.

    Can someone help me remove people that are stuck on my friends/followers list?

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    Good afternoon

    Block the accounts that you want to remove from your friends list. Although this method is not always 100% effective, it can sometimes help to remove the unwanted followers.

    Unfollow the ghost account that is causing the issue. This may help to reset your friends list and remove the unwanted followers.

    Check your privacy settings to ensure that your friends list is set to "Friends Only" or "Private." This can prevent unwanted followers from being added to your friends list.

    Unwanted Account

    You can log out of the account, just leave it on there for 30 days. To change the e-mail address on it, go to settings, account, privacy, and click on Change MS account!

    Unwanted Account

    Accounts cannot be deleted.

    Just change the email address on the TotherGnu970 account.

    That will free your email address so you can use it on your main account.

    OK, so after I wait the 30 days, How do I change the Microsoft Account on it? Also, do I have to remain logged into the Account, or can I just hop back to my real one and continue playing until the 30 days are up?
