Deleting old hotmail account

I recently changed my xbox live user name because of privacy issues. However i also need to remove a old hotmail account because of privacy issues as well.

I was able to associate my xbox live account with my new hotmail account and am able to login to xbox live with it and also this forum. However whenever i start my xbox at the top right hand side of the screen it still shows my old hotmail account.

I want to delete my old hotmail account asap but i want to know if its ok to do so and if it will affect my xbox live account

Cheers

:)

 

So, how many of you are 10 year Xbox Live gamers?

I started with the xboxlive beta with the headset and MotoGP disk, but I currently have a new different gamer tag due to my associated Hotmail account going inactive, due to not logging into email, and thus preventing me from renewing the live account. I had to create a new account while I went through the steps of recovery for the Hotmail address. Once recovered, I simply stayed with my new gamer tag... Now associated with the old Hotmail account. :-(

 

Do you think Microsoft will clear out old unused gamertags?

It probably depends on if the Microsoft account is dormant, not the Live account. As long as that person is still using their Hotmail you won't get B0ngR1pp3r420.
