How to delete my account on pc?

You will need to assign another email address to the old account that you are trying to delete,before deleting it.

Even if you delete a profile its never really gone,it can always be re-downloaded if you know the email and password.

Just create a new email,add that email to the old account, and remove the one you want to use on the new one.

Hi there,

If you would like to cancel the Xbox Live account, you can only cancel Xbox Live memberships over the phone. To cancel your Xbox live account call 1-800-4MY-XBOX (1-800-469-9269). You will need to provide your name, address, gamertag or profile name used
on Xbox Live, email address that you used for your Xbox Live account and your phone number.

Hello there,

You cannot delete an Xbox Live account.

If you would like to remove the account from your console, you can.

That will not delete the account, It will only remove it from the console.

(The profile will still remain in the Xbox live servers)

You can delete profiles that you no longer use from your console. Here’s how:

1. Go to Settings, and then select System.
2. Select Storage.
3. Select All Devices.
4. Select Gamer Profiles.
5. Select the gamertag that you want to delete.
6. Select Delete.
7. Select one of the following:

• Select Delete Profile Only. This deletes the profile but leaves saved games and achievements.
  
• Select Delete Profile and Items to delete the profile and the associated saved games and achievements.
  

Thank you.

I have an account on my Xbox and a different on my pc. I need to delete the account on my pc so I can connect my Xbox profile to my pc. The only problem is the email on my pc is the email I use and have to change my Xbox account back to.
