Is there a way to view/remove a Minecraft account from a Microsoft account?

Paul Smail · Dec 12, 2023

Here is the issue: I previously had a Minecraft Bedrock account linked to a Microsoft e-mail, during the whole migration thing, I moved my personal Minecraft account to this same e-mail, and now the only account I can access is the Bedrock account. This has been very frustrating as I cannot seem to find any way to "separate" these two accounts. I have tried everything from looking in past e-mails to make sure this was the account I migrated to, and sure enough it is. Is there any possible way I can get this account back or is it gone forever?

Hi Paul S, my name is Courtney and I would be happy to help.

Based on information gathered from the Microsoft Forum, Independent Advisor Rostom L said the following:

Please note that once a Minecraft account is migrated to a Microsoft account, it cannot be undone. I'm afraid there is no option to delete just your Minecraft account as it is already considered a Microsoft account. If you want to delete your Minecraft account, you need to delete the Microsoft account.

If you have any other questions, let me know, I will be happy to continue offering my help, the bottom line is there is no way to separate Microsoft and Minecraft accounts.

I hope this information has been useful to you.

Update, someone somehow removed my minecraft account from my microsoft account ??? I dont have minecraft anymore ??? Microsoft or whoever please help

Yes, unfortunately that’s the case
If maybe the hacked account was a Microsoft account, you could try to recover it

But as the hacker stole your Minecraft and then they migrated the account to a new Microsoft account
There is no way to know (from Microsoft side) which was the account used to migrate this Minecraft account
They only have the tools to work with Microsoft accounts

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew a way to move a minecraft java account from one microsoft email to another. I made a minecraft java account with the deal for minecraft bedrock. It is already on a microsoft account and I wondered if there is a way to move it to a different one as I have some important things on that email and would like minecraft separate from these things. If anyone knows, please tell me. Thanks

Nothing is transferable between accounts.

It does make a difference, if they are on child accounts there are many options available to remove unwanted things from their view.

If you choose to allow them access to view your account or allow them to use your account then the responsibility is entirely yours.

Microsoft is powerless to help if you ignore their child friendly options.
