    Help removing Followers


    I wanted to ask if any moderator/employee could help me get rid of followers that i dont want. I know that there is no feature for that, i posted the question several times the past 1-2 years but no one was able to help unfortunatly. The reason im trying my luck again is this thread i came across while looking if there was a solution after all this years:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...e/00d38201-6959-4a32-be98-10c1001e066e?page=1

    This specific user has/had the same problem as me and an employee/moderator was able to help him out getting rid of followers which that specific user couldnt remove himself.

    I also tried everything the user described aswell, the famous block/unblock method (several times), clearing the cache, removing and re-adding the account, using (or rather trying) the apps to remove/block them, asking the xbox support (atleast 2 times), adding them as friends and then blocking them etc. you name it.

    My privacy settings are almost as private as it gets (so i can still play with my friends) and i dont want or need followers. Since i already blocked a ton of them and some got removed and some didnt tells me that it is not intentional for followers not to be removed when blocked.

    It really bothers me, doesnt matter how much they can see or not and since it was possible for that specific user in the linked thread i was hoping someone could me help here aswell!

    Kind regards!

    :)

    First of all, thank you for answering! :)

    As i mentioned, i already contacted the support multiple times and also talked with "live agents", the last time around 1 or 2 weeks ago. They only told me that this kind of function does not exist (which i already know, it didnt exist 2 years ago either). I also asked for help on reddit (xbox insider) and even wrote several feedbacks to maybe implement said feature.

    The reason im trying my luck (again) is, that apparently there are specific users with the same problem who also contacted the support of their region, and the xbox support told them to ask for help in this forum (as stated from the specific user in the thread i linked in my initial post). And atleast this one specific user i linked in my initial post got help in this forum from an employee/moderator who was able to remove his/her followers.

    Again, i dont think people staying on your follower list even after blocking is meant to be a feature, since some people i blocked got removed and others didnt. Which brings me to the conclusion that this is some kind of issue/bug or whatever we wanna call it.

    This is why im asking: Why is it possible to remove the (not wanted) followers of specific users, but not mine (or others with the same issue), even tho i asked for this already years ago? And who exactly can be contacted if the support either simply cant help or tells us that we should ask in this forum, and in this forum i am told to ask the support? This issue is known for years (one can also google and can see that there are many posts like mine asking for a way to remove followers) and since i atleast now know of one specific case who got help (the case i linked in my initial post) i wanted to ask for help too.

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello HurricaneIR, I carefully read your description and also the past thread that you had published in the community.

    I even see that it was a Microsoft Employee who assisted you earlier.

    However, I believe that nothing has changed in the meantime, the ideal thing is to get in touch with Xbox support to find out if they have any recommendations for your case.

    Go to: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/contact-us/

    See the bottom left part of the page and make sure that the page has the correct region that you are in (ex: United States - English for USA)

    If not, click on it then select the correct region that you are in.

    Check and confirm that you are within the available time of support under Contact times.

    Click Contact us

    Select the drop-down menu options that will match your concern.

    On the page, see the provided support articles that may help you with your concern. Click See contact options if further assistance is needed.

    On the next page, select either Chat online or Request a call option then follow or enter the needed details.

    Need help removing a Follower.

    Just block that person. If you don't send messages to the blocked person he can't follow you anymore.

    Need help removing a Follower.

    I tried your idea, but it came up with an error: "Sorry, we can't save your changes right now. Try again in a while." Even after re-attempting it later, it still failed, but I think this confirms that the other person has me on their Blocked list. I'm
    happy about that part, but my main complaint is that they're still considered a Follower, blocked or otherwise. I'll just wait for an Agent or tech support at this point, but thanks for your input, Sandy. Every now and then, I'll see if it goes through. It'd
    have probably worked if I did that much earlier.
