I linked my Minecraft account to the wrong Microsoft account. Can I get this unlinked?

BeatriceG1 · Mar 20, 2022

A few months back during the great "Microsoft Migration", I did what everyone else was doing and linked my Minecraft account to my Microsoft account. Unfortunately, I was signed in to the wrong Microsoft account, and this resulted to my Minecraft account being linked to the wrong Microsoft account. I've attempted to contact Minecraft support twice already about this, but they will not help me unlink the account since I don't have the receipt or order number from purchasing the Minecraft account years ago. It was purchased as a gift- I don't speak with the person who gave the account to me anymore. However, I have access to both the Microsoft and Minecraft accounts and I'm the only owner of both. I've been trying to unlink these two accounts for so long- I've even resorted to trying to get the Minecraft account deleted so I can re-purchase and link that one instead. Has anyone been able to get them unlinked or their account deleted without having the order number or receipts?

I don’t know what email I used to link to my PS5 for Minecraft account. Could somebody unlink the account connected to my minecraft account if not can you tell me what email is linked to my minecraft account. Would I have to go to PlayStation to get it unlinked or do I go to Microsoft since it’s the accounts that are needed.

Even if you could unlink the account you wouldnt be able to link a different one.

Per https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360037725571-Minecraft-for-PlayStation-FAQ

Note: Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation® account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation™ Network account can be associated with a different account. 

If you choose to unlink accounts, then purchases will be returned to the account which made the purchase. Even after unlinking, Microsoft and PlayStation® accounts can only be re-linked to the original account.

This is a Sony imposed restriction, not Microsoft/Xbox.

Unfortunately for you, nothing can be done.

Hello BeatriceG1,

Welcome to the Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

Unfortunately, it states very clearly on the Minecraft website and throughout the Migration process to confirm that you are migrating to the correct Microsoft Account because it cannot be undone. We recommend that you continue to reach out to Minecraft Support regarding this issue, as in their Migration FAQ they instruct users who migrated to the wrong Microsoft account to do so.

Sincerely,

XBF – Evie
