Microsoft account closure

reytorres05 · Nov 22, 2019

Hi,

So I want to close an old Xbox account and use the email from that profile on my current one. It says I have to close the account in order to do that, but I am afraid that doing so will close the actual Gmail account which I still need/use. So my question
being, will I still be able to use my Gmail account once closing the Microsoft account?

:)

Hi reytorres05,

Thanks for your post. If you are using a 3rd party email as your Microsoft account alias and you delete the Microsoft account it is on, you will not lose your email. Since Google manages Gmail, Microsoft is unable to close your Gmail account.

I hope this helps.

I appreciate the response!

If the 60-day Microsoft account closure is completed, it is no longer possible to recover the account.

Hey Abigail,

On Microsoft's Xbox website, search for the “Close Your Account” option under
your Account settings. From there, you will have to acknowledge a bunch of agreements and select a reason for closing your account.
To finish the closure, you have to click “Mark account for closure”.

Hope this helps,

Kind regards,
