If I delete an account, can I reuse the email on another account?

Hi There,

Once an account is deleted the alias is also deleted and can't be reused. It is simply wiped from the Microsoft system. This is from the Microsoft support site,

• If you remove your alias from the account it’s on today, it will be deleted from our systems and isn't recoverable, so you'll no longer be able to use it to send or receive emails.
• Microsoft doesn't recycle aliases once they are deleted. This means it won't be available again as an alias or new account to you or anyone else at a later time.

Tommy, I had created the original account at sign-in. I created another account (using a Gmail address) through the Accounts page on the Settings app. I deleted that account from the same place, then I managed to log in on my Firefox InPrivate browser and attempted to recreate that account through the website (account.microsoft.com) and was told I could not reuse that email. Is there any way to get around that?

deleting and reusing the email account is dependent on which country/region you are in, in the EU and the UK once an email address or an alias is deleted it can never be used again due to privacy laws. this has been confirmed by Microsoft too.

Is the reason you asked because you want to reuse the gamertag on another account, or use the email addresse with another Microsoft Account? Please tell us more.

Heard. And the other question? Unrelated to the licenses: if I change the email on this account, can I reuse that email on a different account? In the end, this account would most likely not be mine any more.
