how do you delete your xbox account?

KaceyCopeland · Mar 18, 2019

so I have an xbox account that I dont really use other than for parties, ive had it for a while so the gamertag is really old and stupid, I want to change it but im not paying £10.00 for it, I dont have that sort of money,also I cant change it on my computer
or the xbox itself. so ive decided to delete my xbox account and then make a new one with a better gamertag, same Microsoft account. I dont care about losing achievements however my Microsoft account is linked to other stuff so I cant delete
the Microsoft account.

so basically how do I delete the xbox account but keep my Microsoft account. yeah.

I think you would be better off with a new account/new email if you wanted to get rid of your own Xbox Gamertag account.

You can't delete the account. You just let it go inactive.

If you completely close out your account you will lose ALL digital game licenses that are associated with that account, ALL MS account balance/gift card balance.

You are not going to be able to do what you are wanting to do if your account is linked to other MS stuff.

The only thing you can do is change what email is associated with a xbox profile.

When you say your MS account is linked to other stuff do you mean like MS stuff? (office subscription, one drive, WIN 10 PC) or do you mean like facebook, twitter, Instagram and stuff like that?

If the email address is a MS server email (outlook.com, Hotmail.com, live.com, msn.com) if you completely close out your account you will no longer have access to that email. If it is one of these you will not be able to do what you want because if you add

If it is a non-MS server email (see last paragraph) then you can change the email associated with your MS account but if it associated with stuff to do with MS then you would have to sign in with whatever email you are changing it to if it is associated
with Non-MS stuff then changing the email for your MS account will not affect those.

The best thing probably to do in your situation is to honestly just pay the 10 dollars.

Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you need help on deleting your EA account.

Are you talking about deleting the account completely? Because if that is the case, you would need to consult with EA for this since they are the only one that can delete your account completely.

Go to help.ea.com.

Select a game from the list.

Select a platform.

Select the topic “Manage my account”.

Then “Delete my account”.

Log in and send your account deletion request to support.

you can request an account del;etion through xbox phone support. but from what i understand it will delete your email as well. the easiest way would be to change the msa email on the old account with a throwaway hotmail email, then replace the email on your
primary account with the email on the old account.
