Delete my xbox account

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

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Sam, your Microsoft account and your Xbox profile are one, you first create your Microsoft account with @outlook, or @hotmail etc. when you put that account on Xbox or sign in to the Xbox website it creates an Xbox profile that is attached to this email, so you can't separate them.

If you choose to permanently delete your Microsoft account, you'll also delete your Xbox profile.

If you're trying to have a personal account and a game-only account, which is ideal, it's best to leave the one that's already on Xbox just to play and create another personal account to use normally.

Thanks,

Hello Ozma Man

No I do not think they purge inactive accounts.Best thing I could suggest right now is having a chat with the support team at
support.xbox.com/contact-us

Sorry \I couldn't be more help.

Is it possible that your account may have been associated with a different e-mail address?

Explain all your concerns with them and they will do their best to help you

Regards,

Dan

ok what are you trying to do?

You can not delete only the xbox account, you must delete the microsoft account and all purchases go away with it. You have a 60 day waiting period after making this decision to delete it. See here to delete your microsoft account:

https://account.live.com/closeaccount.aspx This page tells you all you need to know about what you need to check before you click the final OK.

Please note that this does NOT make the gamertag available for other accounts to take it - rather the opposite. If you need this gamertag on another account you will have to purchase a name change to free it up for another account to take it.

Also, make sure you have cancelled all subscriptions on this page if you have them:

https://account.microsoft.com/services/

If changing your login email would fix your problem you can do that here:
