How do i delete my xbox account without closing out my microsoft account?

Hey there Brendan Spinks,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the forums in regards to your Microsoft account. In this case you can always

delete your personal information associated with your Xbox profile and Microsoft account but you are not able to actually delete the account without deleting your Microsoft account.

• Note To delete your Xbox profile and surrender your gamertag, you'd need to close your Microsoft account. There's no way to close your account while keeping your Xbox profile or gamertag. For instruction and related considerations,

I hope this helps.

Hello, I want to delete my Minecraft account without causing any impact to my Microsoft account.

Can anyone kindly offer step by step instructions on how to do this please?

You can't. Your Microsoft account IS your minecraft account. They are one in the same so you cant delete one without deleting the other.

I never signed back into my Microsoft account during those 65 days and attempting to do so yields a "this email is not recognised" message.

I either "deleted" or "closed" it, I can't remember the exact wording of it. Main point is I had a Microsoft account with an Xbox account attached to it and closed the Microsoft account in an attempt to delete the Xbox account. I also wasn't using either
account, so I intended getting rid of them both by deleting the Microsoft one.
