How to recover/restore a removed account on your Xbox console?

i don’t even know   · Apr 17, 2023

Hello,

Back in 2018 i've clicked the "remove account" setting in the settings on the Xbox console,

thinking it wouldn't do much but that was a huge mistake, as i was not that really good at English at that time. I found out it fully removed the account on the account list where you add or switch for different accounts.

If am correct it was a xbox LIVE account with gold for multiplayer to talk with others and lots

of gamedata that i really wish to get back.

I still have the same xbox console from when it happened and still fully working.

Is there ANY way to recover at least the gamedata of what was on the account or

is there a way to recover the account using like a "recover" account setting?

Because if there's a remove account setting also might mean that there's a recover account setting if you clicked the remove account setting by accident.

Please tell me if there's any way that i can recover it for example the gamedata.

:)

Hello i, sorry to hear you're having account trouble.

I'm afraid the only way to add the account back to the console would be if you knew the email/password associated with it. If the account was part of a family you could try logging in to https://account.microsoft.com/family with the parent account to see what the email address for the account was. From there you should be able to try logging into https://account.microsoft.com and then click on the Forgot button to change your password.

If you removed your account from your Xbox console, then just click on sign in to add your account back to the console. If you deleted your Microsoft account used to play on Xbox then I'm sure there is a way to recover it. Some services will restore the
account if you just sign back in before a certain time period.
