Hi I used to own an but accidentally deleted the email used by it.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

If the Microsoft email address has been deleted I apologize but we may not be able to recover it.

If you're not sure, I have here methods on how you can possibly locate the Microsoft email address that is linked to your Xbox profile. Kindly check this link:

Hello,

I have an xbox account from years ago but since I was a child my father used his email for it. He still frequently uses that email and I heard if you switch the primary email it just deletes it. How would he be able to keep all his emails and I keep the xbox account on my own email?

If his email is a Microsoft email then there is no way to completely separate the two without his email being completed deleted.

Hey there!

I've sent you a Forums Private Message. You can check those by clicking here.

Enjoy!

hi Lucas, minecraft java edition was purchased through mojang and then the account was migrated to my Microsoft account. My son has his own Microsoft account and it's been added to the family account. Now I need to change the Minecraft login credential to using his microsoft email.

I may have accidentally posted a URL.

Thanks for your help.

Is the account you're using to post on the forums the one you want to recover? All you would have to go through the recovery system on your console and provide the same sign-in information (microsoft ID and password) in order to recover it.

If it's a completely different account you would need to contact xbox support and inform them - they will need to verify your identity to prove you're the owner of the account and they should be able to recover it for you. It's a tricky one especially if
you have closed the email address down for the account.
