Email to my microsoft account is gone

Hello Lochiie!

My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

Friend, unfortunately when you use this email exchange function, really Email (A) will be permanently deleted.

I'm sorry for the situation, there's really no way to recover this email.

I am available for any queries

All respects

If you have closed the account - as in deleting it - it's gone and after 60 days after you decided to do that it's gone. Nothing is retrievable.

You will need to create a new account to play. Unfortunately all your screenshots and videos are gone if you closed the microsoft account.

If you closed it via this method:
https://account.live.com/closeaccount.aspx the account and everything with it is gone and you can not get it back.

If you simply stopped using it please see this page to help you find your email address:

Even if the email does not exist anymore you can still log into the microsoft account with it and if you need the password you can reset it via this page and have the email sent to another email:

https://account.live.com/password/reset

After you recover your account you can switch the emails to one that is active (but not Hotmail, Live or Outlook) via this method:

If her email was a Microsoft server email (@hotmail.com, @outlook.com, @msn.com, @live.com) unfortunately there would be no way to recover the email once it is taken off of an account it would be gone forever.

would there be anyway to recover it in general or is it gone forever, permanently, for all uses?

It would be gone forever for all uses because at this point the new email that you entered in is considered the primary email for that account.

That is exactly what I did, I logged into my son's account to redeem, but the only email available was my account email. Per one of Microsoft support answers, I included all the troubleshooting steps I have already gone through.

Hey Victor,

I have gone through this recently. If you do not remember the email and you cannot log in to the account via an Xbox the first recommended step is to guess which email the account was associated with.

Here is the recommended walkthrough for this situation:
