Deleting xbox account without deleting whole microsoft account

Hi soap803, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

Deleting or removing an Xbox profile is not possible and they're correct that you will be needing to close or delete your Microsoft account to do so.

no you can't, it used to be possible before 2008 then everything was merged, the Xbox account IS the Microsoft account they are not just simply linked, they are one in the same, they cannot be separated or spilt in any way, you cannot reset the account either.

so, is deleting xbox account without deleting microsoft account possible?

Hi, to be honest I don't think that something like this can be implemented soon due to security reasons.

For example, what if someone stole your account and impersonate you to migrate only your xbox profile and purchases to a completely different account?

If you look the transfer option in that way, I think that it makes more sense (or at least for me)

In any case, the best option to share this feedback / idea with Microsoft is using the feedback hub app.

If maybe you need detailed steps on how to do that, check this article:

By the way, thanks for your understanding

Thanks, this is unfortunate. It seems like this is an issue that plenty of people have. I'm not sure if your role has some form of internal reporting to highlight issues that customers are having, but if there is I would suggest highlighting this fact so that it can be fixed and implemented. From my web searches it seems like it has been an issue for years and the programmers/developers have yet to address it.
