Delete new xbox account and transfer old account

ProbablyAFK · May 29, 2020

I have an xbox account oldGamerTag connected to *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***

I have a new account newGamerTag connected to *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***

Is there a way i can delete newGamerTag and change ownership of oldGamerTag to my new email address.

(old email address is too much spam and never used, trying to delete it. new address is active but i somehow signed up a generic newGamerTag and cannot take my old)

Just to be sure you just want to use your old tag with everything connected transferred to the new account and then delete the newgamertag right?

If my take is correct take a look at this page. https://support.xbox.com/help/Accou...nt/change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-account the
gamertag is as far as I know linked to your Microsoft account so delete the new account and then add the mail to the old account is I think the best solution.

I don't believe i want to modify the microsoft accounts. Just want to delete the associated new xbox account(outlook), then transfer the old xbox(hotmail) to a different microsoft account (outlook).

For reference

The official text from my post above

Warning When removing an email alias that’s a Microsoft domain (such as @Outlook.com, @Live.com, or @Hotmail.com), that email is completely deleted from our systems and can no longer
be used to send or receive emails. It won’t be available for use again as an alias on another account. Microsoft does not recycle email addresses, so it may not be reclaimed at a future time.

To clarify, the solution is to

1. delete the entire new microsoft account and attached gamertag.

2. add new account as alias it to the old account.

3. once added i can make the new account the primary SMTP address for login..

That being said, once the new account is deleted, wouldn't there be a timeframe for security to not allow me to use said new account and attach it to the old?

Hypothetically, an attacker with access to my account would now have email from 3rd party services/password resets access to my recovery info. As far as Microsoft sees this, it would be looking to them like i am 2 different people.

No, you cannot transfer the Microsoft Account email address or any part of the account to another account.

You will have to forward all your emails to a new Microsoft account and transfer your OneDrive files to that one. You then can remove your email address from the old one and get your ex to add a brand new one (that has never been created before) this will
delete the old email address, the old email address will be unusable.

As long as you keep your old gamertag on the console and dont delete it you should be able to access you downloadable games and DLC through the new profile. Just be sure all of your content is licensed with your xbox. If not do a licence transfer with your
old account.

This is all correct, except for the the last sentence. A licence transfer is only to move the DLC licence to a new console, on the same account. You can not transfer a content licence to another account.
