How do I delete my Xbox live account without deleting my entire Microsoft account?

Hi Anonymoose69,

I'm Anirban and I'll be happy to help you.

I don't like to give bad news but I have to say that you cannot delete your Xbox live account since it's the same as the Microsoft account. However you can add a new email address to it and make it primary.

Best regards

do not delete the Microsoft account you want to change the primary alias then delete the old email address you no longer have access to

My understanding is that it is impossible to delete an old outlook/live/hotmail email address without deleting the entire Microsoft Account!

Microsoft have not implemented a system like Google. For example I managed to delete my Google Mail address from my Google Account and attach a non Gmail address.

Microsoft doesn't let you delete a Outlook email individually from your Microsoft Account. Point I want to know is whether changing the primary alias to the Xbox Live gamertag profile and then deleting the MS account will work?

I watched this video last night on youtube this guy says it is not possible. So who is right? :S

I never talked about merging accounts. All I was asking is whether a gamertag can be moved onto another account that does not have Xbox Live? For example can an Xbox Live gamertag profile be moved to a different email address from the present Microsoft
Account (email) and then be able to safely delete the Microsoft Email address without it erasing the Xbox/GFWL profile?

If that's not the case the system is pretty terrible. People are complaining on the video above that I posted that their Xbox Live profile was assigned to their mums/dads emails and they wanted to transfer it to their email, but they are saying this is not
possible and that it was only once possible on the Xbox 360. But since I don't have an Xbox 360 I don't know how else to transfer a gamertag profile into another email.

I would like to delete my live.co.uk email address due to email spams. There seems to be no way to individually delete that email address from the Microsoft Account without deleting the entire Microsoft account along with email, one drive, skype, etc. I will
obviously lose my Xbox/Games for Windows Live achievements, game licenses, etc.

I was asking whether there was a solution to this problem. Otherwise I will be permanently doomed between sacrificing my Xbox/GFWL profile over an email address being bombarded with email spams. Or alternatively I bite the bullet and delete everything. Obviously
I don't want to have to delete my entire Microsoft Account and start from scratch.

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 just need to switch my email on xbox accounts but the email i want to swtich to is reserved to one of my other accounts.

is there any possible way that someone can swtich the email on my account, please contact me if you can

The Xbox account IS the Microsoft account and vice versa so there isnt any way to delete the Xbox profile without deleting the entire Microsoft account along with it.
