How do I recover an Xbox account when the email has been deleted, is this possible or have...

i just found out that the email associated with the microsoft account has been deleted. How am i supposed to recover the account.

Hello there NoGo,

If you are using Hotmail or Outlook, there is a feature called ''Recover Deleted Messages''

If you have deleted the email from the deleted folder, you can get it back if it hasn't been that long since you deleted it.

Give it a try and see if it works.

This is what the Microsoft help page has said about recovering deleted messages.

[quote user="Microsoft Help: Deleted email messages"]

With Hotmail, you can recover email that might have been accidently deleted from your inbox. This is also helpful if your account has been hacked, because hackers often delete all the messages in an account.

To recover deleted email

• In the left pane of the Hotmail window, click the Deleted folder, scroll to the bottom of the window, and then click
  recover deleted messages.
  
  Hotmail will recover as many messages as possible and put them in your
  Deleted folder. If you don't see the deleted messages that you wanted, it means they are permanently lost.
  

When the recovered messages are back in your Deleted folder, you should move the important ones back to your inbox or personal folders because the
Deleted folder gets cleaned out periodically.

Note

• This feature doesn’t work for child accounts. This way, parents can be confident that when they delete messages from their children’s accounts, they stay deleted.

Hi, Billy my name is jhon and will be a pleasure to help you

It is a pity that your account has been deleted , but hope is the last thing you lose, the only way I can recommend and that is the most effective for this type of case is filling out the account recovery form through the following link:

I strongly hope you can recover your account with this form my best wishes. Jhon

well their are some possibilities to this, if you gave out your email, password, or both i have some bad news for you, your info for your WLID has been changed and you may need a new account, or you are experiencing the same problem i was for a short period.
what happend was if in the past you shut off your Xbox 360 console while recovering your account, it says your account has been recovered onto your console but it hasnt, what you need to do is go to the dashboard, go all the way to the right, go to system
settings i believe, then memory, then i think you go to accounts, and delete the profile that it says has been recovered, then try recovering your account again. well i hope this helped you! And remember never give out your email/password or both!!!

1. Any thoughts on how to remove this email?

2. Do I need to delete the account?

2a. If so how do I recover the games that have been bought on this account, and (2b) remove subscriptions?

Kathy on the first thread had mentioned an alternative option.
