Deletion of Microsoft/Xbox Account

An Xbox account is automatically set up when you create a Microsoft account. There is no way to delete an Xbox account without deleting the Microsoft account.

Need assistance on deleting XBox from my Microsoft Account. I was hacked in the past and charged for use and purchases related to XBox.

The Microsoft account IS the Xbox account. They are one in the same so there is no way to delete the Xbox account without also permanently deleting your Microsoft account.

Nothing can be transferred between accounts.

A Microsoft account and Xbox account are essentially the same thing. So deleting a Microsoft account would delete the Xbox account as well.

your Microsoft account is your xbox account. Deleting your Microsoft account deletes your account completely. This is coming from an xbox agent that is currently working

Many thanks Brad,

Does that make the Microsoft email deleted and not just the Microsoft Account? I was under the impression that the only way you can delete a Microsoft Email and Skype service for example is by deleting the entire Microsoft account.

The problem is this will delete Xbox Live account as well. This is why I was thinking whether changing the Xbox Live Gamertag profile alias to another primary email such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc and then deleting the Microsoft Account will not erase the Xbox Live
profile? Or will that go away too?

Also I thought there was a 60 day window period if in case you were to delete an email or MS account if you log back in the deletion process will be reverted. But no where does it say that you can keep Xbox Live account but be able to delete Microsoft account
alongside the Microsoft email. This is where I am getting confused.
