    How do I close a free Xbox Live account


    I created one in error while trying to take my daughters currently offline only account online. I didn't realise I was creating a new account, now that account associated with her email address has the gamertag she wants to use but not the profile with all
    her game saves etc, so I want to close the new one to try to then take her old one online.

    :)

    Moved to another country

    Hello, I have a French XBox live account linked to my windows Live account, but since then I moved to the UK. I would like to create a new XBox live account and link it to my existing Windows Live account. How can I do that? I have tried to close my existing
    Xbox live account but I have not found anything on how to do it. S.

    How do I close a free Xbox Live account

    Hi there,

    the only way that is closes to closing an xbox live account is by closing the Microsoft Account itself.

    Which I assume you don't want to do, so the best alternative is to move that xbox live account to another Microsoft Account (and close that one) This will free up the Microsoft Account and should allow you to use it to upgrade your daughters offline profile
    to an xbox live account.

    The steps on how to move a xbox live account to another Microsoft Account can be found here:

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account Be aware that this may take 30 days before
    you can perform the steps

    The steps on how to upgrade an offline profile to an online profile can be found here:

    support.xbox.com/.../offline-profile-to-gamertag

    That should allow you to upgrade her offline profile, but like I mentioned it may take 30 days to complete, since moving an xbox live account to another MS account can only be done after the profile has been on the console for at least 30 days.

    Cancelling an account

    Hi there,

    As far as I know the only way that comes close to cancelling an account is by closing the Microsoft Account that is connected to that xbox live account. I don't think that would free up the gamertag though.

    You can do this via
