how do you delete an account on your phone that you have no longer have access to?

Hi there Nicole W.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having issues logging in.

For time being, you can use your PlayStation as a guest:

Turn on your PS4.
On the login screen, you'll see options for existing users.
Look for the option that says "New User" or "Add User." It might be below the listed users.
Select "New User" and then choose "Play as Guest."

You should be able to do this without logging in.

Then you should recover the account.

If you did not have 2FA active on the account, and the account was not deleted due to inactivity, you will need to try the Account Recovery Form: [https://account.live.com/acsr]

Detailed steps on how to use the Account Recovery Form can be found here: [https://support.microsoft.com/office/b19c02d1-a782-dee6-93c3-dc8113b20c42]

Microsoft takes account security very seriously, that's why Account Recovery is an automated process with no human influence. If you don't have the correct information, you may not be able to get through account verification using the Recovery Form.

The Account Recovery Form requires adequate information to prove that you are the owner of the account. The Account Recovery Process can be a time consuming process, but providing as much info as possible from the start of the process will increase the possibility of being verified by the automated process. You'll need to keep trying until you're verified by Microsoft.

Remember to use a familiar device from which you've frequently accessed your Microsoft account, as well as a familiar location. Microsoft will review your responses and respond within 24 hours. If you are verified, instructions on how to log back into your account will be sent to you, and if you are not verified, you will need to submit the Account Recovery form again. You can do this up to 2 times every 24 hours.

It's important to note that Microsoft Support will not be able to grant you access to your account, you will be sent back to the Account Recovery pages that have been linked above.

If your Microsoft account recovery request was not granted or was unsuccessful, please click the attached link for more information: [https://support.microsoft.com/office/dc56c3e3-dff0-4ed5-8edb-60290eea6b53]

While it might not be the outcome you are looking for, if you’re unsuccessful in recovering your account, then you will need to create a new Microsoft account. You can do that by clicking this link: [https://signup.live.com/]

Let me know if you need more help.

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

If you no longer have access to the account don't worry about it.

If you do still have access to it, you can delete it from your hard drive. However, be aware that if you have DLC from that tag you will still need access to it in order to redownload items if required in the future.

Greetings, ManOwar! Looks like you need some help with your account. If you no longer have access to the parent account you mentioned you will need to get in touch with phone support for your region. They will be able to get this sorted out. Give phone support
a call and let me know how it goes!

You have to purchase it for each platform you want to play it on.
