inactive account has username

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

I apologize but that will not be possible, even if the Xbox profile is inactive the Microsoft account where it is linked may be used. The only way for you to use it if the account will be closed or the owner will change it into something else.

What will happen to inactive xbox one accounts?

If there is an inactive account with a username i want could i claim the username?

Hi,

An inactive Xbox account will be deleted after being inactive for 5 years. If you have made a purchase on that account, It will not be deleted. My best advice would be to have a slight alteration of the desired username to be unique. As an example, if the
name Deathzone117 is taken, you can try . I hope this helps,

Kind regards,

Harrison

I hope they change it in someway like maybe make it like youtube where if an account has been inactive for a long time you can request that username.

I suggest you check again

It doesn't matter anyways if you check the name again you will see the problem.

You should know this as an ambassador

Names aren't an on-demand service

2nd you cant take the name if you DoubleCheck the name

There is a major problem you aren't seeing and it has nothing to do with his activeness

In order to take a name without HASHTAGS no-one can have it and it must be unique however since you aren't the only one thinking it's unique it's taken not once but 4x so even if the original person changes their name you cant take it without a hashtag anyways since 4 other accounts have that name also abeit a hashtag considering some of the posts are within 60 days you ain't going to get all 5 name reset

You will just have to take the hashtag or.some up with a different spelling tons of others already have
